Warning Trends
Tariffs are driving up paper and paperboard product prices
- The Trump administration’s reciprocal tariffs, which apply general tariff rate increases to all imports from most nations, are set to take effect on August 7 after the national tariff rates were finalized on August 1.
- As a result, the leading paper and paperboard product import sources, Canada, the European Union, China, and Mexico, all face significantly increased tariff rates of 35.0%, 15.0%, 54.0%, and 25.0%, respectively. Together, these countries account for 77.3% of paper and paperboard imports.
- However, USMCA-originating products, meaning those produced entirely in Canada or Mexico, are exempt from the elevated tariffs.
- The United States is highly reliant on paper and paperboard imports to meet domestic demand, with imports accounting for approximately 30.5% of total US consumption in this market.
- Due to these factors, the Yale Budget Lab anticipates tariffs will increase prices in the paper and paperboard market by 5.3% in the short term.

Vendor & Supply Chain Analysis
Low market share concentration among providers bolsters buyer power by encouraging strong competition, which pressures vendors to limit price growth.
The moderate level of vendor financial risk does not have a serious impact on buyer power. Nevertheless, buyers should vet supplier financials because vendor bankruptcy could result in buyers losing money invested in a contract
The moderate level of supply chain risk does not affect buyer power. Although service providers may experience supply chain disruptions, this should not have a serious impact on prices or product availability.
The United States is a net importer of banners, importing more than it exports. While the availability of imports promotes price competition, buyers importing banners should note that importing banners comes with longer delivery times and higher shipping costs.
