To Our Valued Customers,
We want to make you aware of recent developments in the global paper market that may affect future print projects. Due to changes in foreign trade policy and the implementation of new tariffs, we anticipate potential challenges related to paper availability and pricing.
While paper imported from the European Union and Asia is now subject to tariffs, potentially leading to supply constraints and price increases, paper imported from Canada under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) remains exempt from these tariffs. This is positive news for many of our clients, as a significant portion of North American paper supply is sourced from Canada.
In addition, some paper mills have announced they are moving to allocation. This means certain paper types, such as coated web rolls, will be offered in limited quantities, which could lead to production delays without proper planning.
To help mitigate these risks, we strongly encourage you to connect with your Allied Sales Representative as early as possible. Early communication and proactive planning are the best ways to ensure that we can secure the appropriate paper stock for your upcoming projects.
We are closely monitoring this evolving situation and will continue to keep you informed of any significant changes. If you have questions or need assistance with planning, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your Allied Sales Representative.
Thank you for your continued trust in Allied. We are committed to supporting you every step of the way.
Sincerely,
The Allied Team
