Color Television Receivers — South Korea — A-580-008

An AD/CVD measure combines two possible trade remedies: antidumping (AD) duties address merchandise sold in the United States at less than fair value, while countervailing duties (CVD) address benefits provided by a foreign government that support exported goods. “Color Television Receivers” describes the product category covered by the measure, but the exact scope may depend on the product’s features, design, components, and use.

The measure typically affects importers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers bringing covered television receivers into the United States from the countries identified in the official measure. It matters because an importer may have to provide additional customs documentation, pay AD/CVD cash deposits in addition to ordinary customs charges, and remain responsible for correct entry reporting. The product’s HTS classification can help identify a possible match, but HTS numbers alone do not determine whether merchandise is in scope; the official scope language controls.

What to check

• Read the official scope description carefully, including technical characteristics, exclusions, and covered country-of-origin rules.
• Confirm the product’s country of origin and distinguish it from the country of export or the location where it was purchased.
• Compare the product’s specifications—such as display technology, tuner or receiver functions, size, and components—with the scope; ask a customs broker or trade attorney when the wording is unclear.
• Check the applicable HTS classification and any AD/CVD case or measure indicators in current official customs data, without treating the HTS number as conclusive.
• Keep product specifications, supplier statements, origin records, invoices, and entry documents that support your scope and classification analysis.
