President Trump has signed an Executive Order (EO) making changes to EO 14257 from April. According toThe American Forest and Paper Association (AF&PA), the new EO outlines what products and materials can enter the U.S. duty-free. Three wood pulp tariff codes were added to the list.
According the new EO, imported wood pulp will come into the U.S. duty-free. The list now includes products that are not produced in the US or not manufactured at scale, for example bleached eucalyptus kraft or BEK.
