US sets 6.40% antidumping deposit on Brazilian dissolving pulp

The US Commerce Department has issued a final antidumping determination on high purity dissolving pulp from Brazil, setting a 6.40% cash deposit rate for Bracell and other Brazilian exporters effective from publication on 16 October 2026. A parallel countervailing duty case set a 9.37% subsidy rate, not yet collected pending an ITC injury ruling due within 45 days. Rayonier Advanced Materials and the United Steelworkers filed the original petitions in August 2025.

Why this mattersA cumulative deposit near 15.77% if the subsidy order follows would raise landed costs for Brazilian dissolving pulp and support US domestic producers such as Rayonier Advanced Materials.
