Magnesium Metal — Russia — A-821-819

An AD/CVD measure on magnesium metal refers to trade-remedy duties that may apply to covered imports. AD means antidumping: an additional duty intended to address sales at less than normal value. CVD means countervailing duty: an additional duty intended to offset certain foreign government subsidies. These duties are separate from ordinary customs duty and may apply based on the product’s scope, origin, exporter, and other facts.

The measure typically affects importers, manufacturers, distributors, and sellers bringing covered magnesium metal into the United States. The product’s tariff classification, often identified by an HTSUS code, is an important screening tool, but the written scope of the order controls. An importer may be responsible for correct entry reporting, cash deposits, and later duty liability, even when a supplier arranged the shipment. Customs-broker or trade-counsel review may be needed for close classification or scope questions.

What to check

• Read the measure’s official scope carefully, including product descriptions, exclusions, forms, grades, and physical characteristics.
• Compare the product’s specifications and intended use with the scope; do not rely on the HTSUS code alone.
• Confirm the country of origin, export country, manufacturer, and exporter, because AD/CVD treatment can vary by party and origin facts.
• Ask your customs broker to verify the correct AD/CVD case information, entry instructions, and deposit requirements before importation.
• Keep purchase records, product specifications, origin evidence, and supplier information in case Customs or another authority requests support.
