America Shields Crepe Paper Makers From China
Published Date: 5/20/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep the special taxes on crepe paper products from China because stopping them could lead to unfair low prices again. This protects American crepe paper makers from cheap imports and keeps the rules in place starting May 20, 2026. So, importers will still pay extra duties to keep things fair and square.

Antidumping Duties Remain on Crepe Paper
Commerce decided to keep the antidumping duty order on certain crepe paper products from the People’s Republic of China in place, applicable May 20, 2026. This means importers will continue to pay extra duties, and U.S. crepe paper manufacturers remain protected from low-priced imports.
Dumping Margins Identified up to 266.83%
Commerce found that the magnitude of the dumping margins likely to prevail would be weighted-average dumping margins up to 266.83 percent. If you import the covered crepe paper products from China, duties linked to dumping margins could be as high as 266.83 percent, effective May 20, 2026.
