USITC Denies Review of Indonesian Coated Paper Import Duties
Published Date: 5/11/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission said no to a new review of duties on coated paper from Indonesia used in high-quality printing. This means the current trade rules and extra taxes on these imports stay in place, protecting U.S. paper makers from unfairly cheap imports. Businesses and buyers should expect no changes or surprises in costs anytime soon.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Antidumping Duties Stay in Place
On April 28, 2026 the U.S. International Trade Commission declined to institute a Section 751(b) review, so the existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on coated paper from Indonesia remain in effect. If you import or buy coated paper, expect the current duties and related costs to continue without change for now.
U.S. Paper Makers Protected
Because the Commission denied the review request on April 28, 2026, U.S. paper makers continue to have the protection of the existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on coated paper from Indonesia. Domestic producers who compete with these imports keep the trade remedy protections in place for the near term.
