Linear Hydraulic Cylinders and Parts Thereof — Mexico — A-201-870

A US AD/CVD measure concerning “Linear Hydraulic Cylinders and Parts Thereof” is a trade remedy that may apply to covered hydraulic cylinders or qualifying parts imported from specified countries. AD means antidumping duties, used when merchandise is sold in the US at less than normal value. CVD means countervailing duties, used when foreign government subsidies benefit the merchandise. A case may include either type or both.

The measure typically affects foreign producers and exporters, US importers of record, and sometimes related parties in the supply chain. The product title is only a starting point: coverage is determined by the official scope language, product characteristics, country of origin, and applicable tariff classification. If covered, an importer may owe additional duties beyond ordinary customs duty and may have recordkeeping, reporting, and potential duty-assessment obligations. Confirming coverage often requires customs-broker or trade-counsel review.

What to check

• Read the official scope description, including inclusions, exclusions, technical features, and covered parts; do not rely on the title alone.
• Compare the product’s design, function, materials, dimensions, and condition with the scope, and document the analysis.
• Verify the country of origin and the applicable HTS classification; an HTS number can help identify merchandise but does not by itself decide scope.
• Check whether the producer, exporter, and country are listed in the measure and whether any company-specific instructions or certifications apply.
• Ask a qualified customs broker or trade attorney to review uncertain products before entry, and retain invoices, specifications, origin records, and scope correspondence.
