Rates published in the order notice
116.00%All-others weighted-average dumping margin
As printed in the order notice (68 FR 4169, January 28, 2003). 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.

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 order covers all ferrovanadium regardless of
grade, chemistry, form, shape, or size. Ferrovanadium is an alloy of
iron and vanadium that is used chiefly as an additive in the
manufacture of steel. The merchandise is commercially and
scientifically identified as vanadium. It specifically excludes
vanadium additives other than ferrovanadium, such as nitrided vanadium,
vanadium-aluminum master alloys, vanadium chemicals, vanadium oxides,
vanadium waste and scrap, and vanadium-bearing raw materials such as
slag, boiler residues and fly ash. Merchandise under the following
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) item numbers
2850.00.2000, 8112.40.3000, and 8112.40.6000 are specifically excluded.
Ferrovanadium is classified under HTSUS item number 7202.92.00.
Although the HTSUS item number is provided for convenience and Customs
purposes, the Department's written description of the scope of this
order remains dispositive.
Excerpt from 68 FR 4169. Later scope rulings and circumvention findings can change the scope; check the Federal Register notices below.
What A-791-815 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 South Africa 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.
