Laminated Woven Sacks — China — A-570-916

“Laminated Woven Sacks” describes a product category, generally involving woven material that has been laminated or coated and made into sacks or bags. The exact products covered depend on the measure’s legal scope, which may describe materials, construction, dimensions, uses, and exclusions. A product’s everyday name is not enough to determine coverage.

“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 government subsidies. These measures typically affect importers of covered merchandise from specified countries or exporters. The importer of record may be responsible for declaring the correct tariff classification and paying any applicable additional duties, even when another party arranged the purchase or shipment.

What to check

• Read the official scope language and compare it with the product’s materials, lamination, construction, and intended use; check listed exclusions carefully.
• Confirm the applicable country of origin and exporter or producer information, because AD/CVD coverage can depend on these facts as well as the product.
• Review the relevant tariff classification (HTSUS) but do not rely on the tariff number alone; scope language controls whether merchandise is covered.
• Check official instructions for AD/CVD case-specific requirements, including entry documentation, cash-deposit treatment, and possible importer certifications.
• Ask a customs broker or trade attorney to review borderline products, scope questions, or origin and supply-chain changes before importing.
