Fresh Cut Flowers — Chile — C-337-601

“Fresh Cut Flowers” may refer to a trade remedy measure covering certain imported flowers that have been determined, under the applicable proceeding, to be sold at less than fair value (antidumping, or AD) and/or to benefit from government subsidies (countervailing duty, or CVD). The exact product scope depends on the official order or scope language, not just the product’s common name.

These measures typically affect importers, wholesalers, retailers, and other businesses bringing covered flowers into the United States. If a shipment is within scope, the importer of record may have to pay additional duties and meet entry, documentation, and liquidation requirements. Classification, origin, species or variety, condition, packaging, and other scope details can matter, so a customs broker or trade attorney may be needed for uncertain cases.

What to check

• Read the official scope language and compare it with the flowers’ species, condition, packaging, and intended use.
• Confirm the product’s tariff classification and country of origin; do not rely on the commercial description alone.
• Check whether the measure is AD, CVD, or both, and verify the current instructions for deposit, entry, and reporting requirements.
• Keep invoices, product specifications, origin records, and supplier information that support the scope and classification analysis.
• Ask a qualified customs broker or trade counsel to review any borderline product, exclusions, or origin and subsidy questions.
