Pure Magnesium Granular — China — A-570-864

“Pure Magnesium Granular” refers to a product scope that may cover magnesium in granular form meeting the description in the official trade measure. The title is only a starting point: coverage is determined by the written scope, including product characteristics, chemical composition, physical form, and any exclusions. The tariff classification (HTSUS code) can help identify shipments, but it does not by itself decide whether the product is covered.

An AD/CVD measure combines antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) rules. AD addresses alleged unfairly low-priced imports, while CVD addresses alleged government subsidies benefiting foreign producers or exporters. These measures typically affect importers of covered merchandise from specified countries, even when the importer did not participate in the conduct. They can require additional cash deposits at entry and may affect the final duty liability after administrative review and liquidation.

What to check

• Read the official scope language carefully and compare it with the product’s composition, particle size, form, packaging, and intended use; do not rely only on the product name.
• Confirm the country of origin and identify the actual foreign manufacturer, producer, and exporter, because AD/CVD treatment can vary by country and company.
• Check the applicable HTSUS classification with a qualified customs professional, while treating the code as an identification aid rather than proof of scope coverage.
• Ask your customs broker whether the entry requires AD/CVD reporting, cash deposits, special entry information, or a manufacturer/exporter-specific rate from official sources.
• Keep product specifications, bills of materials, invoices, origin records, and supplier certifications so you can support a scope determination or request professional guidance if coverage is uncertain.
