Rates published in the order notice

As printed in the order notice (82 FR 42790, September 12, 2017). Your deposit today may differ: it is the rate the latest administrative review assigned to the exporter or producer on your invoice, which can be higher or lower. A company that has never been reviewed keeps the all-others rate. Check your supplier's current rate in Commerce's ACCESS case record before you price an order.
HTS numbers named in the scope
The notice lists these subheadings for convenience only. The written scope decides whether goods are covered, and goods entered under other HTS numbers can still be in scope.
Scope, from the order notice
scope of the orders includes,
but is not limited to, ESB rubber in primary forms, bales, granules,
crumbs, pellets, powders, plates, sheets, strip, etc. ESB rubber
consists of non-pigmented rubbers and oil-extended non-pigmented
rubbers, both of which contain at least one percent of organic acids
from the emulsion polymerization process.
ESB rubber is produced and sold in accordance with a generally
accepted set of product specifications issued by the International
Institute of Synthetic Rubber Producers (IISRP). The scope of the
investigations covers grades of ESB rubber included in the IISRP
1500 and 1700 series of synthetic rubbers. The 1500 grades are light
in color and are often described as ``Clear'' or ``White Rubber.''
The 1700 grades are oil-extended and thus darker in color, and are
often called ``Brown Rubber.''
Specifically excluded from the scope of these orders are
products which are manufactured by blending ESB rubber with other
polymers, high styrene resin master batch, carbon black master batch
(i.e., IISRP 1600 series and 1800 series) and latex (an intermediate
product).
The products subject to these orders are currently classifiable
under subheadings 4002.19.0015 and 4002.19.0019 of the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). ESB rubber is
described by Chemical Abstract Services (CAS) Registry No. 9003-55-
8. This CAS number also refers to other types of styrene butadiene
rubber. …

What A-455-805 means when you import
Cash deposit at entry. For every entry of goods in scope, CBP collects an estimated antidumping duty cash deposit at the rate assigned to the exporter or producer on the entry, on top of the Column 1 duty and any Chapter 99 trade-remedy lines.
Your supplier sets your rate. The same product from two plants in Poland can deposit at different rates. Before you price the order, ask the supplier which legal entity will appear as exporter and as producer on the invoice.
Deposit now, final duty later. The deposit is not the final duty. The entry stays unliquidated until Commerce completes the administrative review for the period it was entered in. CBP then liquidates it at the rate that review sets and bills or refunds the difference with interest. AD/CVD entries can stay open for years, and the importer of record carries the difference. A review happens only if Commerce is asked for one in the order's anniversary month; if nobody asks, entries liquidate at the deposit rate.
Reimbursement certificate. Before liquidation, the importer files a certificate under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) stating whether the exporter has paid or reimbursed the antidumping duty. Without it, Commerce may presume reimbursement and deduct the duty a second time in the margin calculation. Brokers file it with the entry summary; make sure yours does.
Entry reporting. The AD/CVD case number goes on the 7501 line alongside the HTS number, and any Chapter 99 lines the goods carry are reported in the order CBP prescribes; the tariff updates tracker carries the current Chapter 99 sequence and the actions behind it.
Shipping from a third country doesn't change the origin. Goods finished, cut or packaged in a third country stay in scope if the notice's written scope covers them. A change of shipping origin is not a change of AD/CVD origin.
Estimating the stack. The tariff simulator returns the Column 1 rate and the Chapter 99 additional duties for an HTS number and origin. It does not include antidumping or countervailing deposits, so add the deposit at your supplier's current rate on top. Airlift USA does not hold a US customs broker license; entries on cargo we move are filed through our licensed broker network.

Send us the product, the exporter and producer named on the invoice, the load port, the US delivery point and the ready date. We quote the ocean freight and destination charges and explain how the entry is filed through our licensed broker network. The AD/CVD cash deposit itself is set by the rate on the entry, not by us.
