Utility Scale Wind Towers — Canada — A-122-867

A trade measure labeled “Utility Scale Wind Towers” and identified as AD/CVD concerns imported goods that may be subject to antidumping (AD) or countervailing duties (CVD). AD duties address imports sold at unfairly low prices, while CVD duties address benefits that a foreign government provides to producers or exporters. These duties are separate from ordinary customs duty and may apply in addition to it.

The measure typically affects manufacturers, exporters, importers of record, and US buyers of utility-scale wind-tower sections or related covered merchandise. Coverage depends on the product description, not only the product name, tariff classification, or intended use. An importer should compare the actual product’s specifications, construction, dimensions, components, origin, producer, and exporter with the official scope language. If coverage is uncertain, a customs broker or trade lawyer may need to review it, and the importer should verify any required entry procedures, cash-deposit obligations, and potential liability.

What to check

• Read the official scope description and compare it with the product’s physical characteristics, not just its commercial name or HTS classification.
• Confirm the country of origin, manufacturer, exporter, and all supply-chain parties; AD/CVD treatment can vary by country or company.
• Check the applicable HTS classification as a filing aid, but do not treat the tariff number alone as proof that the goods are covered or excluded.
• Ask your customs broker to verify entry documentation, AD/CVD case identifiers, cash-deposit instructions, and any certification or special-reporting requirements.
• Keep product specifications, invoices, origin records, and scope-analysis documents so you can support the classification and coverage decision during review or audit.
