Tin Mill Products — China — A-570-228

“Tin Mill Products” generally refers to flat-rolled steel products coated with tin or chromium-based materials, often used for cans, containers, and related packaging. The exact scope depends on the product’s physical characteristics, coating, dimensions, steel type, and intended classification—not simply on the product’s trade name.

“AD/CVD” means antidumping and countervailing duty measures. Antidumping (AD) duties address imports sold at less than normal value, while countervailing (CVD) duties address benefits from foreign government subsidies. These measures typically affect importers bringing covered merchandise from specified countries or exporters into the United States. An importer may owe additional duties beyond ordinary customs duty, and the importer of record is generally responsible for proper entry reporting and payment.

What to check

• Confirm whether the product matches the measure’s legal scope, including its coating, dimensions, material composition, and physical form.
• Check the product’s HTSUS classification, but do not rely on the tariff number alone; AD/CVD scope language controls coverage.
• Verify the country of manufacture or export and the producer or exporter, because coverage and duty treatment can vary by source and company.
• Review the applicable AD and CVD case information in official Commerce and CBP sources before entry, including instructions for cash deposits and entry reporting.
• Keep product specifications, mill certificates, invoices, and origin records that support your scope and classification analysis; ask a customs broker or trade counsel when the match is uncertain.
