Industrial Phosphoric Acid — Israel — C-508-605

An Industrial Phosphoric Acid measure labeled AD/CVD concerns trade remedies that may apply when this chemical is imported into the United States. “AD” means antidumping: it addresses imports sold at less than normal value. “CVD” means countervailing duty: it addresses imports that benefit from certain government subsidies. These are additional to ordinary customs duties and may apply based on the product’s classification and origin.

The measure typically affects US importers, manufacturers, distributors, and other parties bringing covered industrial phosphoric acid from specified countries or sources. Whether a shipment is covered depends on the legal product description, country of origin, tariff classification, and any stated exclusions—not just the product’s commercial name. An affected importer may need to report the measure at entry, pay additional duties, and meet entry or documentation requirements. Customs-broker or trade-counsel review may be appropriate for close classification or scope questions.

What to check

• Compare the product’s composition, grade, concentration, physical form, and intended use with the measure’s official scope description.
• Confirm the country of origin and review whether the measure applies to the exporting country, producer, or exporter involved in the transaction.
• Verify the correct Harmonized Tariff Schedule classification; use classification as a screening tool, but do not rely on the tariff number alone.
• Check the official AD/CVD instructions for entry reporting, cash-deposit requirements, exclusions, and any applicable certification or documentation.
• Ask a customs broker or trade-remedy specialist to review ambiguous products, sourcing chains, scope interpretations, and potential duty liability before importation.
