Rates published in the order notice

386.24%All-others subsidy rate

As printed in the order notice (87 FR 51341, August 22, 2022). 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 this order is sodium nitrite in any form, at any purity level. In addition, the sodium nitrite covered by this investigation may or may not contain an anti-caking agent. Examples of names commonly used to reference sodium nitrite are nitrous acid, sodium salt, anti-rust, diazotizing salts, erinitrit, and filmerine. Sodium nitrite's chemical composition is NaNO<INF>2</INF>, and it is generally classified under subheading 2834.10.1000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). The American Chemical Society Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) has assigned the name ``sodium nitrite'' to sodium nitrite. The CAS registry number is 7632-00-0. For purposes of the scope of this order, the narrative description is dispositive, not the tariff heading, CAS registry number or CAS name, which are provided for convenience and customs purposes.

What C-821-837 means when you import

Cash deposit at entry. For every entry of goods in scope, CBP collects an estimated countervailing 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 antidumping case exists, an entry of Sodium Nitrite from Russia carries both deposits.

Your supplier sets your rate. The same product from two plants in Russia 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.
