U.S. Rushes Crepe Paper Tariff Review From China
Published Date: 6/8/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission is speeding up a check to see if the special taxes on crepe paper from China should stay or go. This affects American crepe paper makers and importers, with decisions coming soon that could impact prices and trade rules. The review started because U.S. producers showed strong interest, while Chinese exporters didn’t respond enough.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Expedited five-year review on crepe paper
On May 8, 2026 the U.S. International Trade Commission began an expedited five-year review to decide whether revoking the antidumping duty order on crepe paper from China would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time. The review follows a finding that the domestic interested party response was adequate while the respondent group response was inadequate.
Participation and filing deadlines narrowed
The Commission found the domestic response adequate and the respondent response inadequate, and it has made Seaman Paper Company of Massachusetts, Inc. an individually adequate respondent. A staff report will be provided to Administrative Protective Order parties on June 10, 2026, and written comments that may not contain new factual information are due on or before June 17, 2026; comments from other interested parties will not be accepted under 19 CFR 207.62(d)(2).
