Uncoated Paper — Australia — A-602-807

An AD/CVD measure covers two related trade-remedy programs: antidumping (AD), which addresses imports allegedly sold at less than fair value, and countervailing duties (CVD), which address certain foreign government subsidies. “Uncoated Paper” describes the covered product scope, but the title alone does not establish whether a particular paper product is included.

These measures typically affect importers, foreign manufacturers, exporters, and sometimes related parties. An importer may need to pay additional cash deposits at entry, provide accurate manufacturer and exporter information, and manage later duty assessment. Product scope is controlling: an HTS classification can help identify potentially relevant goods, but it does not by itself determine coverage. Technical characteristics, coating, paper composition, dimensions, end use, country of origin, and the exact scope language should be reviewed. A customs broker or trade attorney may be needed for a formal scope analysis.

What to check

• Read the official scope language and compare it with the product’s specifications, including coating, composition, weight, dimensions, and intended use.
• Verify the country of origin, manufacturer, exporter, and related-party information; AD/CVD treatment can depend on these facts.
• Use the listed HTS classifications as screening tools, not as conclusive proof that the product is covered or excluded.
• Check the applicable entry instructions and cash-deposit requirements with CBP or a qualified customs broker before importing.
• Keep product records, supplier certifications, invoices, and classification research that support your scope and origin conclusions.
