Polyester Textured Yarn — India — A-533-885

A Polyester Textured Yarn measure labeled AD/CVD concerns imported polyester textured yarn, a manufactured textile filament yarn that has been processed to add texture, bulk, stretch, or related characteristics. “AD” means antidumping: a trade remedy that may apply when imports are sold in the United States at less than normal value and cause or threaten material injury to a US industry. “CVD” means countervailing duty: an additional trade remedy that may apply when imported goods benefit from actionable government subsidies and cause or threaten material injury.

These measures typically affect importers, manufacturers, distributors, and other businesses bringing covered yarn into the United States from specified countries or exporters. Coverage is determined by the legal product description and the order’s scope—not only by a product name or tariff classification. An importer should review the yarn’s fiber composition, construction, processing, and physical characteristics, identify the exporting country and producer, and compare those facts with the official scope. AD/CVD obligations can be separate from ordinary customs duty and may involve cash deposits, documentation, and later duty assessments.

What to check

• Read the official scope language and compare it with the product’s technical specifications, including fiber type, filament construction, texturing process, denier, and intended use.
• Confirm the HTSUS classification, but do not treat the tariff code alone as proof of coverage; scope language controls when classification and product descriptions differ.
• Identify every relevant party: country of origin, country of export, manufacturer or producer, exporter, and seller. AD/CVD treatment can depend on these details.
• Check current official instructions for cash-deposit requirements, certification or reimbursement statements, and possible liquidation or assessment consequences.
• Ask a customs broker or trade-remedy specialist to review borderline products, scope questions, or unusual supply chains before entry.
