As printed in the order notice (83 FR 44570, August 31, 2018). 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.

Scope, from the order notice

Scope of the Order The merchandise covered by the scope of this order is cast iron soil pipe fittings, finished and unfinished, regardless of industry or proprietary specifications, and regardless of size. Cast iron soil pipe fittings are nonmalleable iron castings of various designs and sizes, including, but not limited to, bends, tees, wyes, traps, drains (other than drain bodies), and other common or special fittings, with or without side inlets. Cast iron soil pipe fittings are classified into two major types-- hubless and hub and spigot. Hubless cast iron soil pipe fittings are manufactured without a hub, generally in compliance with Cast Iron Soil Pipe Institute (CISPI) specification 301 and/or American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) specification A888. Hub and spigot pipe fittings have hubs into which the spigot (plain end) of the pipe or fitting is inserted. Cast iron soil pipe fittings are generally distinguished from other types of nonmalleable cast iron fittings by the manner in which they are connected to cast iron soil pipe and other fittings. Excluded from the scope are all drain bodies. Drain bodies are normally classified in subheading 7326.90.86.88 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). The cast iron soil pipe fittings subject to the scope of this order are normally classified in subheading 7307.11.0045 of the HTSUS: Cast fittings of nonmalleable cast iron for cast iron soil pipe. …

What A-570-062 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. Because a companion countervailing case exists, an entry of Cast Iron Soil Pipe Fittings from China carries both deposits.

Your supplier sets your rate. The same product from two plants in China 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. China is treated as a non-market economy in antidumping cases: an exporter that has not established its own separate rate deposits at the country-wide rate, which is normally the highest in the case.

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.
