for Trade Violations Holding individuals and entities accountable for violating trade laws and regulations. Preventing Smuggled Goods Detecting and preventing the entry of goods smuggled into the U.S., which may pose risks to security, health, and the economy. Close Report a Trade Violation The e-Allegations program provides an electronic portal through which the trade community and the general public can report suspected trade violations to CBP. The e-Allegations process enables CBP, in collaboration with our partners, to protect our economy from the effects of unfair trade practices and guard against the entry of products that could pose a threat to health and safety. Report an e-Allegations Violation Types of Trade Violations There are multiple types of trade violations. If you are unsure of which type of trade violation describes an importation-related situation you suspect is illegal. Learn more about the different Trade Violation categories. Review Trade Violations Multiple companies. Same violation If you want to submit multiple company names that you believe have committed the same violation, please submit this under one allegation and provide all company names under the additional parties or on an attachment. Forced Labor If your allegation pertains to Forced Labor, you should navigate to the Forced Labor webpage and select the appropriate option provided there. This ensures the allegation is routed correctly and handled in accordance with the specific procedures for Forced Labor cases. Lack of information e-Allegations are not guaranteed to be referred for further review if there is insufficient substantial evidence to support a violation. It is crucial to provide as much detailed and credible information as possible when submitting an allegation to increase the likelihood of it being reviewed and investigated. Multiple submissions will not expedite investigations Submitting the same allegation (same violation and violator) multiple times will not expedite the investigation process. Instead, all subsequent submissions besides the original will be closed as duplicates. It is important to provide all relevant information in the initial submission to avoid delays and ensure the investigation proceeds efficiently. If you have additional information to support your original allegation, please email it to eallegations@cbp.dhs.gov rather than creating a new allegation. Timeline and case status Allegation cases can take an extended amount of time to complete, due to the complexity of investigations and the need for thorough review. Additionally, once a case is concluded, CBP is unable to disclose specific enforcement actions, if any, due to restrictions imposed by the Trade Secrets Act, the Privacy Act, and CBP regulations. This ensures compliance with legal protections and confidentiality requirements. The alleger will only be informed whether the case is open or closed. Error messages in the form If you encounter an error message while submitting your allegation, it may be due to exceeding the 255-character limit for the combined fields of violation type, violator product, and violator name. To resolve this issue: Review the content in these fields and ensure it does not exceed the character limit. If you have additional information, include it in the violation description section or upload it as a file attachment.

Textile and apparel goods have some of the highest duty rates of all commodities imported into the U.S. making them susceptible to fraud. Textile risks include: schemes designed to circumvent textile tariff and trade laws include false invoicing, false marking and labeling, false claims of origin, illegal transshipment, misdescription, undervaluation, false declarations of right to make entry, false trade preference claims, and outright smuggling. Therefore, textiles have long been a CBP Priority Trade Issue (PTI) for CBP enforcement efforts. CBP maintains a robust and comprehensive enforcement strategy to effectively minimize and analyze the various textile risk areas. Both textile importers and the U.S. domestic manufacturing industry have a substantial interest in the Textile PTI enforcement results. The Textile Enforcement Statistics reflect the results of the various CBP enforcement activities. Data is updated quarterly and thus may change from quarter to quarter.

Suspension of liquidation of entries and collection of AD/CVD cash deposits (provisional measures) begin at the first affirmative Commerce determination in the AD/CVD investigation. This is usually at the time of Commerce’s preliminary determination. At that time, Commerce will instruct CBP to suspend liquidation and collect cash deposits (i.e., provisional measures) beginning on the date its determination is published in the Federal Register. If, however, Commerce has found that critical circumstances exist, it will instruct CBP to suspend liquidation and collect cash deposits beginning 90 days prior to the date its determination is published in the Federal Register.

Dumping occurs when a foreign producer or exporter sells a product in the United States at a price that is below “normal value.” Normal value may be the price at which the foreign producer sells the merchandise in its own domestic market or a third-country market, or may be a constructed value based on its production costs plus an amount for profit. A separate surrogate-value based methodology is used to establish normal values for non-market economies. This entails valuing the non-market economy producer’s factors of production using prices or costs from one or more surrogate market economy countries considered to be (1) at a level of economic development comparable to that of the non-market economy country of the producer and (2) a significant producer of comparable merchandise. What is subsidization? Are all subsidies countervailable? Governments subsidize enterprises or industries when they provide financial assistance to benefit the production, or exportation of goods through, e.g., direct cash payments, credits against taxes, and loans at terms that do not reflect market conditions. To be countervailable a subsidy must involve a government financial contribution that confers a benefit that is specific to a certain enterprise, industry or region in that country or that is contingent upon export or the use of domestic goods over imported goods in production. What is the purpose of the antidumping and countervailing duty laws? Antidumping and countervailing duties are intended to offset the value of dumping and/or subsidization, thereby leveling the playing field for domestic industries injured by such unfairly traded imports. What are the roles of the United States International Trade Commission (ITC), Department of Commerce (Commerce), and the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) with regard to Antidumping and Countervailing Duty (AD/CVD) Proceedings? The domestic industry files a petition with both Commerce and the ITC. Commerce reviews the petition for sufficiency and if it determines that the petition contains the relevant information, it will initiate an investigation into whether the goods subject to the petition are being sold at less than fair value or benefiting from unfair subsidization. Once an investigation has been initiated, Commerce investigates whether a producer or exporter is dumping and/or receiving unfair


to Antidumping and Countervailing Duty (AD/CVD) Proceedings? The domestic industry files a petition with both Commerce and the ITC. Commerce reviews the petition for sufficiency and if it determines that the petition contains the relevant information, it will initiate an investigation into whether the goods subject to the petition are being sold at less than fair value or benefiting from unfair subsidization. Once an investigation has been initiated, Commerce investigates whether a producer or exporter is dumping and/or receiving unfair subsidies, while the ITC investigates whether the domestic industry is injured or there is a threat of injury because of the potentially dumped or subsidized imports. The office of Enforcement and Compliance within the International Trade Administration (ITA) at Commerce is responsible for enforcing the U.S. AD/CVD laws to protect United States’ businesses from unfair competition resulting from unfair pricing by foreign companies and unfair government subsidies to foreign companies. If, during an investigation, Commerce preliminarily finds that imported merchandise was is being sold in the United States at a dumped or unfairly subsidized price, the agency will direct CBP to suspend liquidation of incoming entries (and potentially certain past entries within a specific time period) and begin collecting AD/CVD on those entries. If Commerce makes a final determination that imports are dumped and/or subsidized, and the ITC makes a final determination that a U.S. industry is materially injured or threatened with material injury, Commerce will issue an AD/CVD order continuing that suspension of liquidation, and updating the rates of duty-collection, if needed, to reflect the agency’s final calculations. To determine whether the domestic industry is materially injured or threatened with material injury as a result of the dumped or unfairly subsidized imports. The ITC considers all relevant economic factors, including the domestic industry's output, sales, market share, employment, and profits. For further information on the ITC’s injury investigation, visit the ITC’s website at www.usitc.gov Once an AD/CVD order is in place, Commerce conducts reviews of merchandise imported into the United States to determine if imports are being sold at less than fair value (i.e., dumped) or benefiting from unfair subsidization. If Commerce continues to find that imports are being dumped or unfairly subsidized, it directs CBP to assess AD/CVD (as appropriate) in the amount calculated by Commerce. For further information regarding the conduct of Commerce’s investigations and reviews, visit Commerce’s website at https://www.trade.gov . CBP is responsible for enforcing the AD/CVD laws on imported goods. CBP collects AD/CVD cash deposits, administers AD/CVD entries, assesses and collects final AD/CVD, and enforces AD/CVD on imports that evade AD/CVD orders. CBP utilizes significant national assets from across the agency to enforce AD/CVD laws. CBP also collaborates with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to substantiate and act upon allegations of duty evasion and to support enforcement actions. For further information on CBP’s role in AD/CVD enforcement. When does suspension of liquidation and collection of AD/CVD begin? Suspension of liquidation of entries and collection of AD/CVD cash deposits (provisional measures) begin at the first affirmative Commerce determination in the AD/CVD investigation. This is usually at the time of Commerce’s preliminary determination. At that time, Commerce will instruct CBP to suspend liquidation and collect cash deposits (i.e., provisional measures) beginning on the date its determination is published in the Federal Register. If, however, Commerce has found that critical circumstances exist, it will instruct CBP to suspend liquidation and collect cash deposits beginning 90 days prior to the date its determination is published in the Federal Register. Provisional measures expire (i.e., duties will no longer be collected by CBP) after they have been in place for 120 days. For AD cases, this period may be extended up to 180 days. Suspension of liquidation and duty collection by CBP will resume if Commerce publishes an AD/CVD order. What are critical circumstances and what happens if it is determined that critical circumstances exist? Critical circumstances arise when Commerce determines that exporters are flooding the U.S. market with imports of a product subject to an ongoing AD/CVD investigation. A finding of critical circumstances is an important tool to offset possible import surges during the period of an initial AD/CVD investigation. For example, consider the situation in which an AD/CVD


by CBP will resume if Commerce publishes an AD/CVD order. What are critical circumstances and what happens if it is determined that critical circumstances exist? Critical circumstances arise when Commerce determines that exporters are flooding the U.S. market with imports of a product subject to an ongoing AD/CVD investigation. A finding of critical circumstances is an important tool to offset possible import surges during the period of an initial AD/CVD investigation. For example, consider the situation in which an AD/CVD investigation is ongoing, and an importer enters goods subject to the investigation in the 90 days before liquidation is suspended and AD/CVDs are imposed. A critical circumstances determination would retroactively subject these imports to AD/CVD cash deposits. Once Commerce makes a determination that critical circumstances exist, it has the statutory authority to order the retroactive suspension of liquidation and posting of cash deposit for entries made before the issuance of a preliminary and/or final AD/CVD determination. Commerce’s authority to suspend entries retroactively for AD/CVD is limited to those entries made on or after the later of: (1) 90 days before the effective date the suspension of liquidation was first ordered, or (2) the date of the Federal Register notice initiating the investigation. CBP will suspend liquidation and collect cash deposits on the relevant entries as directed by Commerce’s instructions. How does a preliminary determination differ from a final determination? Commerce issues a preliminary determination in AD/CVD investigations and reviews to allow parties involved in the proceeding an opportunity to review and comment on its AD/CVD determination, including the calculated margin of dumping or rate of subsidization. Commerce considers those comments and determines whether changes to its preliminary determination are appropriate. Commerce will then issue a final determination addressing parties’ comments and finalizing its determination. If, in an investigation, Commerce issues an affirmative preliminary determination, it will instruct CBP to begin suspending entries and collecting duties (i.e., provisional measures) at the preliminarily-determined rate of dumping or subsidization. If, in an investigation, Commerce issues an affirmative final determination, then the ITC will vote on whether the U.S. domestic industry is injured or threatened by material injury due to imports of the dumped or unfairly subsidized product. If both the Commerce and ITC final determinations are affirmative, Commerce will issue an AD or CVD Order, as appropriate, and will direct CBP to continue or resume (if provisional measures expired) suspension of liquidation and collection of cash deposits at the rate(s) determined in Commerce’s final determination. After an AD/CVD order is in place, Commerce will conduct annual administrative reviews of an AD/CVD order if requested by an interested party. However, Commerce does not instruct CBP to alter AD/CVD collection rates pursuant to preliminary determinations in such reviews. Instead, following its final determinations, Commerce will instruct CBP to assess duties on the reviewed entries, and begin collecting cash deposits on future entries in the amount of the final calculated AD/CVD rate. Who sets the duty rates of the imported merchandise that is subject to AD/CVD? Commerce’s ITA’s Enforcement and Compliance calculates the AD/CVD rates and establishes the scope of AD/CVD orders. CBP enforces these decisions and collects the AD/CVD assessed on the imported goods. How can I determine whether merchandise that I am planning to import is subject to antidumping or countervailing duties? You need to review the scope of AD/CVD orders to determine whether the merchandise falls under the scope of an order. The scope of AD/CVD orders can be found in several places: Federal Register notices from Commerce, available at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx Written instructions from Commerce to CBP, available in CBP’s Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) (for importers and customs brokers with ACE accounts), and on the internet via the AD/CVD Search at https://trade.cbp.dhs.gov/ace/adcvd/adcvd-public/# Interested parties may request a scope ruling from Commerce. Details on how to determine if you are an interested party within the definition of the governing regulations and on how to request a scope ruling are available at https://legacy.trade.gov/enforcement/operations/scope/index.asp You may contact an Import Specialist at the appropriate Center of Excellence and Expertise , although that advice is not binding.

To view all AD/CVD cases by description and case number, visit https://www.usitc.gov/trade_remedy.htm or https://legacy.trade.gov/enforcement/ I know the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) classification of the goods that I import. How can I determine whether the HTS falls under the scope of an AD/CVD order? HTS classifications are listed in the scope of AD/CVD orders for convenience in assisting importers in determining whether a product may be subject to an AD/CVD order. However, the written description of the scope of the order is dispositive, not the HTS classification. Accordingly, the inclusion or exclusion of an HTS classification in the scope of an AD/CVD order does not determine whether a product falls under the scope of an AD/CVD order. How can I find a list of products covered by AD/CVD orders? ACE contains comprehensive case information on every AD/CVD case. The ITC publishes a list of every AD/CVD case at http://www.usitc.gov/trade_remedy/documents/orders.xls . The website of Commerce’s ITA, legacy.trade.gov/enforcement , under “Products currently subject to AD/CVD Orders,” also contains information on AD/CVD cases listed by country. What is the AD/CVD case number and AD/CVD rate for the merchandise that I am planning to import? ACE contains comprehensive case information on every AD/CVD case, including company-specific case numbers and AD/CVD cash deposit rates. See also, Question 15 below. Federal Register notices issued by Commerce list the case numbers and AD/CVD cash deposit rates. In addition, the Commerce instructions to CBP list the case numbers and AD/CVD cash deposit rates (see ACE and/or the AD/CVD Search at https://trade.cbp.dhs.gov/ace/adcvd/adcvd-public/# ). These instructions are searchable and span the years 1992 to present. When looking up a specific 10-digit case number in ACE, it is important to identify the status of that case number. For example, case numbers that have been inactivated do not necessarily mean that the company(ies) associated with that case number are no longer subject to AD/CVD. The list of 10-digit (i.e., company case) status definitions is available . What are third country case numbers associated with AD/CVD proceedings and where can I find information on third country case numbers? CBP issued a Cargo System Messaging Service message (18-000421) to the public on this issue titled “Identifying Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Order Third Country Case Numbers in ACE” that is available at https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USDHSCBP/bulletins/1fbdf79 . Also see: CSMS 18-000379 CSMS 18-000421 Can the trade community query cases and see information relating to AD/CVD cases in ACE? Yes, the trade community is able to access the AD/CVD case management and AD/CVD messages sections of ACE if they have an ACE account . The ACE Entry Summary Business Process Document details how to navigate to the information once logged into ACE. Are there training resources available for the ACE Portal? Yes, training resources in the form of user guides and video tutorials are available at www.cbp.gov/trade/ace/portal-accounts-management-user-guides . When I run a query/report in ACE to find out if the goods I imported are subject to both AD and CVD, why don’t both the AD and CVD 10-digit case numbers show up in the report? Commerce associates cases in ACE only at the principal case level, which is the 7-digit case number. Therefore, ACE queries and reports to determine whether both AD and CVD are due on a particular imported good should be run at the 7-digit (i.e., case level), not at the 10-digit (i.e., company-level) case number. Due to the fact that the AD and CVD proceedings are conducted separately, company specific information may differ between the CVD and AD cases. I paid the AD/CVD due when I imported goods into the United States. Do I have any further AD/CVD liability on that import entry? The AD/CVD paid at the time of entry are cash deposits of estimated AD/CVD duties. The final amount


at the 7-digit (i.e., case level), not at the 10-digit (i.e., company-level) case number. Due to the fact that the AD and CVD proceedings are conducted separately, company specific information may differ between the CVD and AD cases. I paid the AD/CVD due when I imported goods into the United States. Do I have any further AD/CVD liability on that import entry? The AD/CVD paid at the time of entry are cash deposits of estimated AD/CVD duties. The final amount of duties owed is not determined until Commerce conducts an administrative review to establish the final AD/CVD rates on past entries. In other words, the final duties are assessed retrospectively on prior entries. The final AD/CVD amount may increase, decrease, or remain unchanged from the AD/CVD cash deposit paid at the time of entry. After Commerce sends instructions to CBP on the final AD/CVD rate for the entry, CBP will assess this final duty. CBP will issue a bill for any increase in duty plus interest or refund any overpayment plus interest as a result of a decrease of a duty. Interest is not applicable to entries made during the provisional measures period in the original AD/CVD investigation. On average, this entire process, from the date of importation, takes approximately three years. I paid a fair price to my supplier for my imported merchandise, and the estimated AD/CVD duties that I paid are too high. How can I get a refund of the duties when CBP liquidates the entry? You may request an administrative review of your imports from Commerce to determine the final AD/CVD duty liability. Commerce publishes a notice of opportunity to request a review each month in the Federal Register. Requests for administrative review must be submitted to Commerce during the anniversary month (i.e., the month of the particular AD or CVD order) to cover a review of entries from the prior anniversary month through the month prior to the current anniversary. For example, if the order was issued in February 2012, the notice of opportunity to request a review of entries covered by that order is published at the beginning of February each year. To request a review of entries from February 2015 through January 2016, the request must be submitted to Commerce during the month of February 2016. Commerce instructs CBP on the final AD/CVD rates, and CBP will assess final duties based on these instructions. I do not believe that the goods that I imported fall under the scope of an AD/CVD order, and CBP required me to pay AD/CVD duties on my imported goods. How can I obtain a ruling that my products are not subject to AD/CVD? You may request a ruling from Commerce regarding whether your product falls within the scope of an AD/CVD order. For more information on applying for a scope ruling, see https://legacy.trade.gov/enforcement/operations/scope/index.asp . Further, if you believe CBP misapplied the scope of the order as written, you may file a protest with CBP within 180 days after the entry has liquidated. Do importers have to deposit AD/CVD duties while a Commerce scope determination is pending? Yes, if CBP determines that imports are subject to the scope of an AD/CVD order, importers are required to deposit AD/CVD duties while a scope determination is pending. If Commerce rules that a product is not covered by the scope of an AD/CVD order, Commerce will normally instruct CBP to refund the AD/CVD cash deposits, and the importer will receive a refund of the deposit(s). What do I do if I believe the items I’ve imported were misclassified? If an importer believes that the items they imported were misclassified, the importer should contact the appropriate Center for Excellence and Expertise. To view contact information for all Centers, visit www.cbp.gov/trade/centers-excellence-and-expertise-information . I imported my merchandise using a consumption entry, paid the AD/CVD duties, and I now want to export the goods. Can I get a refund of my AD/CVD duties? With regard to refunds of AD/CVD duties, the statute and regulations clearly applicable law prohibits “any remission, abatement refund or drawback of duties”… See 19 U.S.C. § 1558, and 19 § CFR 191.3(b)(3).

I imported my merchandise using a consumption entry, paid the AD/CVD duties, and I now want to export the goods. Can I get a refund of my AD/CVD duties? With regard to refunds of AD/CVD duties, the statute and regulations clearly applicable law prohibits “any remission, abatement refund or drawback of duties”… See 19 U.S.C. § 1558, and 19 § CFR 191.3(b)(3). Once the merchandise has been released from CBP custody, the importer is not entitled to a refund of AD/CVD duties, except for refunds due to overpayment of a duty, or as a result of a subsequent decrease in the duty rate resulting from an administrative review of that AD/CVD order at Commerce covering, as appropriate, the exporter or producer of the merchandise. Are there any other special requirements for imports subject to AD/CVD duties? Commerce’s regulations require that, prior to liquidation and the assessment of antidumping duties (and countervailing duties if there is a CVD order on the same merchandise subject to an AD order), the importer is required to file a certificate advising CBP whether it has entered into an agreement or otherwise has received reimbursement of such duties. If an importer fails to provide a statement of reimbursement prior to liquidation, CBP will presume reimbursement and double the duties. Importers may also file their non-reimbursement statements through ACE. Non- reimbursement statements (in electronic format) fulfill the same requirements as reimbursement certificates. See 19 CRF 351.402. Are there publications available to the public regarding the AD/CVD processes? Yes. There are several documents available from CBP, Commerce, and the ITC. CBP’s website at www.cbp.gov contains several general publications on importing, including “Importing into the United States.” Click on “Trade,” and then “Basic Importing and Exporting.” The website of Commerce’s International Trade Administration, legacy.trade.gov/enforcement , contains links to Federal Register notices of AD/CVD decisions, a list of products currently subject to AD/CVD orders, reference materials and highlights and news of recent decisions and initiations.

Where can I find a telephone number for an Import Specialist team and the port of entry? Import Specialists are now aligned with one of the Centers and focus on a specific industries and specific accounts. To find contact information for each of the Centers, please follow this link: www.cbp.gov/trade/centers-excellence-and-expertise-information/cee-directory To find contact information for each of the ports of entry, please follow this link: www.cbp.gov/contact/ports/ Where can I find a telephone number if I have questions for Commerce regarding administration of an AD/CVD Proceeding? Enforcement and Compliance, the agency at Commerce that administers the AD/CVD statutes maintains a call center for the public. The telephone number is 202-482-0984. I am a broker and my client claims that it is entitled to a zero percent AD/CVD cash deposit rate on its imports, however it is discovered that the importer is buying through a third party. How do I determine the correct rate? To determine the proper AD/CVD case number and applicable cash deposit rate, you must first identify the exporter and manufacturer of the goods. Rates may be assigned to an exporter, an exporter/manufacturer combination, or a manufacturer. If the exporter has its own rate, use that rate. If the exporter does not have its own rate, determine if the manufacturer has its own rate. Be cognizant that if an exporter/manufacturer combination rate exists, the transaction must have the exporter and manufacturer combination present in order to qualify for the rate. After exhausting all of the above, there is no specific cash deposit rate assigned to the exporter, manufacturer or exporter/manufacturer combination, then the all-others or country-wide rate applies. Additionally, if certain producer/exporter combinations are excluded from an AD/CVD order, the exclusions for certain producer/exporter combinations are applicable only to those producers/exporters in that combination. These exclusions are not applicable to resellers, even if the resold merchandise was sourced from the excluded producer/exporter combination. Accordingly, merchandise from an excluded producer/exporter combination sold through a reseller must be entered under the case number assigned to the reseller, or, if the reseller does not have its own case number, then at the


if certain producer/exporter combinations are excluded from an AD/CVD order, the exclusions for certain producer/exporter combinations are applicable only to those producers/exporters in that combination. These exclusions are not applicable to resellers, even if the resold merchandise was sourced from the excluded producer/exporter combination. Accordingly, merchandise from an excluded producer/exporter combination sold through a reseller must be entered under the case number assigned to the reseller, or, if the reseller does not have its own case number, then at the “all others” or “country-wide” 000 case number. AD/CVD cash deposit rates are listed in written instructions from Commerce to CBP, available in CBP’s Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) (for importers and customs brokers with ACE accounts), and on the internet via the AD/CVD Search at https://trade.cbp.dhs.gov/ace/adcvd/adcvd-public/# . The specific 10-digit case number that an importer has been using for years now shows up in ACE as having a case status of “Inactive – Company Deactivated.” What does this mean? Is the imported merchandise subject to AD/CVD? If the 10-digit case number has a case status of “Inactive – Company Deactivated,” the order likely still applies to this company, but this case number does not. Commerce typically applies “Inactive – Company Deactivated” when there has been a change in status for the company. Note, however, that a “company deactivated” status does not mean that the company is not subject to the AD/CVD order; rather, it means that this particular case number is no longer active for the company and merchandise can no longer be entered under this 10-digit case number. The appropriate 10-digit case number for the company will be identified in the AD/CVD cash deposit instructions. If the company is given a different 10-digit company number, that will be noted in the ACE AD/CVD case reference file. Otherwise if the company is still subject to the order but does not have its own case number, its entries should be made under the “all others” or “country-wide” “000” case number. AD/CVD must be reported at the time of entry using the case number that replaced the deactivated case number for that company. To see the definitions of company specific case statuses, please navigate to www.cbp.gov/trade/priority-issues/adcvd and select “ACE AD/CVD Company Case Status Definitions” under Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) or simply access the document via the following link: www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2017-Feb/ace-terminology-10digit-company-status-20170125.pdf The AD cash deposit instructions and the company record in ACE AD/CVD portal show a 0 percent AD/CVD cash deposit rate for the exporter that I am importing from. Since the AD cash deposit rate is 0 percent, do I need to file a type 03 entry? Yes, you still need to file a type 03 entry and report the required antidumping or countervailing case information when the cash deposit rate is zero percent. A zero percent cash deposit rate for an active case number is not an indicator that the merchandise is not subject to the respective antidumping or countervailing duty order. Rather it means that the last calculated cash deposit rate for that company was zero, and AD/CVD should be reported at the time of entry. Should a higher rate be determined at the end of an administrative review, the importer will receive a bill for the difference between its zero cash deposit and the final margin, plus interest. You should also confirm whether the import is also subject to duties pursuant to a companion AD or CVD order on the same merchandise, and if so, submit the required amount of duties and report the required duty case information with the entry summary. Where can I find information on the special value field for AD/CVD entries? The AD/CVD special value fields on the entry summary record may be used when a value or quantity different from the standard appraised value must be used to calculate AD/CVD for goods on a line that are subject to an antidumping or countervailing duty proceeding. CBP previously issued CSMS messages CSMS #03‐002707, CSMS #04‐001995 and CSMS #15‐000091 concerning this issue. Please disregard these CSMS messages. Clarified instructions that were included in CSMS # 18-000379 are below. Normally, the fields to be used for AD/CVD calculation are the Value of Goods Amount or Quantity as reported in


or quantity different from the standard appraised value must be used to calculate AD/CVD for goods on a line that are subject to an antidumping or countervailing duty proceeding. CBP previously issued CSMS messages CSMS #03‐002707, CSMS #04‐001995 and CSMS #15‐000091 concerning this issue. Please disregard these CSMS messages. Clarified instructions that were included in CSMS # 18-000379 are below. Normally, the fields to be used for AD/CVD calculation are the Value of Goods Amount or Quantity as reported in the ACE entry summary AE transaction 50‐record. These fields are used to calculate ad valorem AD/CVD duties or specific rate (per unit) AD/CVD duties, respectively, when a value (or quantity) equal to the CBP appraised value (or quantity) should be used. Under these circumstances, entries with goods subject to AD/CVD may be reported on a single entry line, on multiple entry lines, or using the set provisions under GRI 3(b) or GRI 3(c), as appropriate. However, the AD/CVD special values fields (the AD/CVD Value of Goods Amount and the AD/CVD Quantity, as reported in the ACE entry summary AE transaction 53‐record) may be used to calculate AD/CVD duty for an AD/CVD entry summary line when a value (or quantity) different from the CBP appraised value (or quantity) must be used. Below are examples of how the AD/CVD Value of Goods Amount should be reported in ACE when either the AD/CVD Special Value Fields, Multiple Entry Lines or Set Provisions should be used. A. Where Use of the Special Value Fields is Appropriate The AD/CVD special value fields on the entry summary record (AD/CVD 53‐record, at positions 25‐34 (value) and 35-46 (quantity)) should only be used when a value or quantity different from the standard CBP appraised value must be used to calculate the AD/CVD for goods on a line that are subject to an antidumping or countervailing duty proceeding. EXAMPLE 1: CORRECT REPORTING USING THE SPECIAL VALUE FIELDS: A shipment of glass refrigerator shelf subassemblies contains aluminum extrusion components that are attached by welding to the subassemblies. Under the scope of the AD/CVD orders on aluminum extrusions from China, the aluminum extrusion components of a particular product or subassembly are subject to AD/CVD, and the non‐aluminum extrusions components of that particular product or welded subassembly are not subject to AD/CVD. The value of the entire glass refrigerator shelf subassembly should still be reported on the line (AE transaction 50-record) as the standard CBP appraised value. Since only part of the value of the entire subassembly (the value of the aluminum extrusion components) is subject to AD/CVD, the AD and CVD special value fields (AE transaction 53-record) should be used to report on the same entry summary line the value and quantity of the subject aluminum extrusions components. The values and quantities reported in the AD and CVD special value fields will be used to calculate the amount of antidumping and countervailing duties. B. Where Two or More Entry Lines are Required Two or more entry lines are required where: a shipment contains multiple goods that are covered by a single HTSUS number; only a portion of the shipment is subject to AD/CVD while the remainder of the goods are not subject to AD/CVD; and the quantity of goods subject to AD/CVD and not subject to AD/CVD can be separately quantified. The goods in the shipment subject to AD/CVD should be separately quantified and reported from the goods in the shipment that are not subject to AD/CVD on separate lines on the entry summary. EXAMPLE 2: CORRECT REPORTING WHERE TWO OR MORE ENTRY LINES ARE REQUIRED: A shipment contains $15,000 worth of Italian pasta. The invoice reflects two lines, one is $10,000 worth of organic pasta that is not subject to AD/CVD. The second line; however, reflects the remaining $5,000 worth of pasta that is subject to AD/CVD. Although both invoiced lines are classified under the same HTSUS provision, 1902.19.2030, they must be entered as two lines on the entry summary because only the product equaling the $5,000 portion of the shipment is subject to AD/CVD. EXAMPLE 3: INCORRECT USE OF THE SPECIAL VALUE FIELDS: The importer of a shipment containing Italian pasta, only some of which is subject to AD/CVD,


AD/CVD. The second line; however, reflects the remaining $5,000 worth of pasta that is subject to AD/CVD. Although both invoiced lines are classified under the same HTSUS provision, 1902.19.2030, they must be entered as two lines on the entry summary because only the product equaling the $5,000 portion of the shipment is subject to AD/CVD. EXAMPLE 3: INCORRECT USE OF THE SPECIAL VALUE FIELDS: The importer of a shipment containing Italian pasta, only some of which is subject to AD/CVD, declares a single line on the entry summary with the entire entered value for that shipment. The importer then uses the special value field for only the goods in that shipment that are subject to AD/CVD. C. Where Use of the Set Provision is Required Merchandise classified under GRI 3(b) or GRI 3(c) set provisions should be entered in accordance with the reporting requirements set forth in "CBP Form 7501 Instructions," dated July 24, 2012 when filing paper entry summaries. When filing entry summaries electronically, follow the guidance provided in the ACE ABI CATAIR chapter titled, “Entry Summary Create/Update”. EXAMPLE 4: CORRECT REPORTING WHERE USE OF THE SET PROVISION IS REQUIRED: Wooden and Glass Votives Votive candleholders packaged as a set with tealight candles are imported from China. The set is classified under 9405.50.4000, HTSUS, and the candles are classified under 3406.00.0000, HTSUS. Only the candles from China are subject to ADD. NOTE: The incorrect use of the above fields may result in a rejection of the entry summary by CBP. Furthermore, continued misuse of the AD/CVD special value fields (the AD/CVD Value of Goods Amount and the AD/CVD Quantity, as reported in the ACE entry summary AE transaction 53‐record) will be considered for penalty action pursuant to 19 USC 1641. Please refer questions to your assigned CBP Client Representative or contact ADCVDISSUES-HQ@cbp.dhs.gov for more information. How can a customs broker query an HTS code in their ABI software to determine if a commodity is subject to AD/CVD? It is important to note that an HTS code is only provided for convenience since the narrative description of the scope of an AD/CVD case is dispositive and the description and nature of the goods are what determine if the HTS code is within the scope of an AD/CVD case. That said, customs brokers have the capability to query an HTS code in their ABI Software to determine an applicable AD/CVD Case. However, some AD/CVD cases do not always provide the HTS at the 10-digit level. As a best practice, you should always query an HTS code at the 8- and 10-digit level to determine if an AD/CVD Case applies, but also review the description and nature of the goods to determine if they fall within the scope of any AD/CVD Case. See the example below. Case Number Case Short Description Case Country of Origin Code Case Related HTS Number A122503000 Iron Construction Castings CA - A122503000 Iron Construction Castings CA 73251000 A122503000 Iron Construction Castings CA 7325100010 A122503000 Iron Construction Castings CA 7325100020 A122503000 Iron Construction Castings CA 7325100025 A122503000 Iron Construction Castings CA 7325991000 A122503001 Iron Construction Castings CA - A122503001 Iron Construction Castings CA 73251000 A122503001 Iron Construction Castings CA 7325100010 A122503001 Iron Construction Castings CA 7325100020 A122503001 Iron Construction Castings CA 7325100025 A122503001 Iron Construction Castings CA 7325991000 A122503002 Iron Construction Castings CA - A122503002 Iron Construction Castings CA 73251000 A122503002 Iron Construction Castings CA 7325100010 A122503002 Iron Construction Castings CA 7325100020 A122503002 Iron Construction Castings CA 7325100025 A122503002 Iron Construction Castings CA 7325991000 A122503003 Iron Construction Castings CA - A122503003 Iron Construction Castings CA 73251000 Last Modified: Sep 16, 2025

It includes case number, case name, the number CBP assigned to each certification, claimant name, dollar amount certified, allocation percentage, and dollar amount paid. Cases that show a negative disbursement amount are the result of refunds to importers as a result of reliquidations or court cases. Section II: FY 2021 Uncollected Duties Updated: 12/02/2021 This report lists the amount of uncollected antidumping and countervailing duties on each CDSOA eligible case as of September 30, 2021. Only uncollected duties on entries filed prior to October 1, 2007, which liquidated during Fiscal Year 2021 appear on this report. These amounts were subtracted from the liquidated duties on each case, as we cannot disburse funds that have not yet been collected. CBP is taking all collection actions available to collect amounts owed. All collections on these bills that take place in the future will be disbursed in the year in which they are received. Section III: FY 2021 Clearing Account Balances as of October 1, 2021 Updated: 12/02/2021 This report lists the amounts contained in the Clearing Account for each CDSOA eligible case. These amounts represent estimated antidumping and countervailing duties filed with the entry prior to October 1, 2007. These are preliminary numbers and may be refunded at liquidation to the importer of record based upon Commerce's final determination on the case, which may not occur during the current year. Funds do not transfer from the Clearing Account to the Special Account for CDSOA distribution until liquidation occurs. The Clearing Account does not include additional duty assessed at liquidation or reliquidation.
