US expedites anti-dumping review on Chinese crepe paper
The US International Trade Commission has scheduled an expedited five-year review of the antidumping duty order on crepe paper from China under the Tariff Act of 1930. The review will determine whether revoking the current antidumping duties would likely cause material injury to the US industry. Importers of crepe paper from China should monitor the review timeline and prepare for potential duty changes.

The US International Trade Commission has initiated an expedited five-year review of the antidumping duty order on crepe paper originating from China. According to the Federal Register notice published 8 June 2026, the Commission is evaluating "whether revocation of the antidumping duty order on crepe paper from China would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time."
Five-year reviews are standard administrative proceedings required by the Tariff Act of 1930 to reassess whether antidumping and countervailing duty orders remain necessary to offset dumping or unfair subsidies. An expedited review typically indicates the Commission has determined that sufficient data exists to complete the investigation more quickly than a standard five-year review timeline.
Who Is Affected
This review affects importers, distributors, and end-users of crepe paper from China (HS Chapter 48). The outcome will determine whether existing antidumping duties remain in place, are adjusted, or are revoked entirely.
What This Means for Shippers
If you import crepe paper from China, the expedited review timeline means a duty determination is coming sooner than a standard five-year review. Monitor the Federal Register and ITC website for the final review schedule, hearing dates, and preliminary/final determinations. Duties could increase, decrease, or be revoked—each outcome affects your landed cost. Prepare cost estimates now under multiple duty scenarios and brief your finance team on potential tariff exposure. Check the ITC's official docket for filing deadlines if you want to submit comments supporting duty continuation or revocation.
