As printed in the order notice (65 FR 52067, August 28, 2000). 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 Order
The scope of this investigation includes tin mill flat-rolled
products that are coated or plated with tin, chromium or chromium
oxides. Flat-rolled steel products coated with tin are known as tin
plate. Flat-rolled steel products coated with chromium or chromium
oxides are known as tin-free steel or electrolytic chromium-coated
steel. The scope includes all the noted tin mill products regardless of
thickness, width, form (in coils or cut sheets), coating type
(electrolytic or otherwise), edge (trimmed, untrimmed or further
processed, such and scroll cut), coating thickness, surface finish,
temper, coating metal (tin, chromium, chromium oxide), reduction
(single- or double-reduced), and whether or not coated with a plastic
material.
All products that meet the written physical description are within
the scope of this investigation unless specifically excluded. …

What A-588-854 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 Japan 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.
