Canada Corrugated Tariffs Lifted Under Section 338
Corrugated packaging escapes heavy Section 338 duties as tariffs are adjusted.

- Cartons, boxes, and cases made from corrugated paper or paperboard are exempt from a previously applied 50% tariff under Section 338, following an adjustment by Trump to the Canadian product tariff list.
- Why it matters
- This change alters sourcing costs and cross-border trade economics for corrugated packaging.
- Who is affected
- Converters, packaging buyers, and suppliers.
According to Packaging Dive, the tariff adjustments remove the 50% Section 338 duty specifically for corrugated paper and paperboard containers originating from Canada.
