Coated Paper Suitable For High-Quality Print Graphics Using Sheet-Fed Presses — China — A-570-958

This US trade measure concerns certain coated paper products designed for high-quality graphic printing on sheet-fed presses. The product scope may depend on details such as the paper’s coating, composition, physical characteristics, dimensions, and intended or suitable use—not simply the product name or tariff classification.

“AD/CVD” means antidumping and countervailing duties. Antidumping duties address imports sold at less than normal value, while countervailing duties address benefits provided by a foreign government. These measures typically affect foreign producers and exporters, US importers of record, and other parties whose goods fall within the official scope. An importer may need to provide additional entry information and pay cash deposits, even when the ordinary tariff classification appears correct.

What to check

• Read the official scope description and compare its technical product criteria with the exact goods, specifications, and packaging you plan to import.
• Confirm the applicable HTSUS classification, but do not treat classification alone as proof that the product is outside the AD/CVD scope.
• Ask the supplier for the producer, exporter, country of origin, coating details, basis weight, dimensions, and intended or suitable printing use.
• Check whether the transaction requires an AD/CVD cash deposit and whether special entry instructions or certifications apply.
• Request a customs broker’s or trade counsel’s review when the product is similar to, but not clearly within or outside, the scope.
