Coated Paper Suitable For High-Quality Print Graphics Using Sheet-Fed Presses — Indonesia — C-560-824

This is an antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) trade measure concerning coated paper designed for high-quality graphic printing on sheet-fed presses. “Coated” generally means the paper has a surface coating that improves print quality, while “sheet-fed” means individual sheets—not continuous rolls—are used in the press. The product’s written scope, including technical specifications and exclusions, controls whether the measure applies; the title alone is not enough.

AD duties address alleged selling at unfairly low prices, while CVD duties address certain foreign-government subsidies. The measure typically affects importers, manufacturers, distributors, and end users bringing qualifying paper into the United States from covered countries. An importer may owe additional duties beyond ordinary customs duty and must report the correct classification, country of origin, and applicable measure information. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the relevant trade-remedy agency administer different parts of the process, so classification and scope questions may require a customs broker or trade counsel.

What to check

• Read the official scope language and compare the paper’s coating, weight, dimensions, finish, and intended printing process; do not rely only on the product name.
• Confirm whether the product is supplied as individual sheets or rolls and check every listed inclusion and exclusion.
• Verify the product’s tariff classification (HTSUS), country of origin, manufacturer, and exporter against current official entry instructions.
• Check whether AD/CVD applies to the transaction and identify any required case, cash-deposit, reporting, or entry-documentation information.
• Keep technical specifications, supplier records, invoices, and origin documents, and ask a customs broker or trade-remedy specialist to review uncertain scope issues.
