Question: The recent ruling from ITC and aluminum extrusions from various countries has me working tirelessly to come up with validating exclusions to the scope. Primary concern is windows, and doors with glass. Would “plexi-glass” constitute “glass” as called out in the scope of the investigation? Glass is not defined. Not sure if I am […]
Question: Coming soon to importers in the US – additional ADD/CVD on aluminum extrusions from various other countries. As I am not familiar with the process in paying ADD/CVD duties, I have the following questions: The phrase “cash deposits required” is confusing to me. How are cash deposits made on these imports? If we are […]
Question: My company declared a recent import under Antidumping as Entry Type 03. We paid the applicable AD duty. Now we have become aware that the goods met an Antidumping Exception. Are we able to file a correction and present the Antidumping Exception data, change it to an Entry Type 01, and request a refund […]
Question: A US supplier’s supplier is raising prices by the amount of the percentage stated in the preliminary orders. However, the supplier will also be adding a 9.7% administrative fee. At first, I questioned the supplier raising the price by the ADD / CVD percentages, but that actually seems acceptable given that the supplier was […]
Question: In reading some Determination cases, I am interested in how an alleger obtains details of another company’s entry details on import shipments. For instance, in a public version of determination case for evasion, example: 7818, the alleger states the country of origin and alleges the merchandise was misclassified. Additionally, the determination stated import data […]
Question: We have parts that we source that contain aluminum extrusions from one of the countries that had CVD rates established effective March 11, 2024. The aluminum is extruded in that country and then goes to our supplier in the same country for further finishing/assembling into the part that we buy. Is the CVD […]
Question: Does anyone have any information or even educated guesses as to WHEN and HOW the suspension of liquidation and cash deposits required by Commerce’s recent preliminary determination will be implemented? Considering the inclusion of downstream products, will CBP begin flagging all imports with the preliminary determination’s enumerated HTS, regardless of country of origin? Am […]
Question: I recently tried to find the scope of the AD and CVD orders for aluminum extrusions from China (A-570-158 / C-570-159), but the scope is no longer on the ITA website. Also, when I run an ABI query, the message says, “case number not found for query”. What happened to these cases? I know […]
Question: As a Customs broker, we struggle with importers who may have products that could be subject to AD/CVD. Very often, the importer has no clue if the product falls within the scope of a CVD/AD case. In that we as the CHB do not have the product knowledge nor the expertise to properly guide […]
Question: We received a CF28 around Antidumping and Countervailing duties and appears we may owe some related duty for products. I am trying to understand the process, once CBP completes the CF28 process, enters the duty in their system and we make any potential cash deposit. How does the Commerce Department get involved? I understand […]
Question: We have a client with the following scenario. A non-resident importer of record imported common alloy aluminum sheets from China. The entries were classified for years at a particular HTS and no AD/CVD was claimed. CBP issued a Request for Information (CF28) and the importer (a non-resident importer of record) responded to the CF […]
Question: Has anyone done a comparison between the current USITC investigation into aluminum extrusions from China, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, India, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, UAE and Vietnam versus the existing AD/CVD orders for aluminum extrusions from China? Aside from the additional countries, inclusion of Aluminum Association series 5 items […]
