International Trade Commission Begins Review of Antidumping Duties on Tissue Paper from China

Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes

The United States International Trade Commission (ITC) has started a review concerning tissue paper products from China. The goal is to determine if revoking the antidumping duty order would lead to the continuation or recurrence of harm to U.S. producers.

An antidumping duty order was put in place on March 30, 2005, by the Commerce Department. This order imposes extra import tariffs on tissue paper from China. In past years, through multiple reviews, these duties continued. Now, the ITC is doing a fourth review to check if the order should be canceled or remain.

  • Review Started: October 1, 2026
  • Response Deadline: November 2, 2026
  • Comments on Adequacy Deadline: December 8, 2026

Interested parties are asked to send information to the Commission by these dates. Participation as a party in the proceeding requires filing an entry of appearance within 21 days after the notice is published.

The ITC is also calling for former Commission employees to participate. They can join the review even if they took part in an earlier investigation or review process.

For those wanting access to business information under an administrative protective order, applications must be done within 21 days after publication.

Respondents are asked to submit information about their firm’s operations, including production and sales figures. This includes U.S. producers, importers, and foreign producers or exporters of the tissue paper.

The ITC is focusing on:

  • The volume of imports
  • The price effects of imports
  • The overall impact on U.S. producers

Representatives or firms should use the Commission’s Electronic Document Information System for all filings. Paper filings will not be accepted currently.

The review will help determine the future of the antidumping duty order on tissue paper from China. This proceeding is regulated under Title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930, with findings published as ordered by the ITC.
