Narrow Woven Ribbons With Woven Selvedge — China — C-570-953

This US trade measure concerns certain narrow woven ribbons with a woven selvedge, meaning a finished edge formed during weaving. The product description is a scope description, not a complete classification by name alone. Coverage may depend on the ribbon’s construction, materials, dimensions, use, and other technical features, as well as its country of origin and exporting or producing company.

AD/CVD means antidumping and countervailing duties. Antidumping (AD) duties address imports alleged to be sold at unfairly low prices, while countervailing (CVD) duties address benefits allegedly received from foreign government subsidies. These duties are separate from ordinary customs duty and may require an importer to provide additional cash deposits and maintain records supporting the declared product, origin, manufacturer, and exporter. Importers can be affected even when they did not manufacture or purchase the goods directly from the named foreign producer.

A product’s tariff classification under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) helps identify possible coverage, but an HTSUS number alone does not decide whether the product is within the measure’s legal scope. Review the official scope language and product facts carefully; when the match is uncertain, seek a customs broker or trade counsel’s analysis before importing.

What to check

• Compare the ribbon’s construction, edge treatment, fiber content, width, packaging, and intended use with the official scope description.
• Confirm the product’s country of origin and identify the actual manufacturer, producer, exporter, and seller in the transaction.
• Check the applicable HTSUS classification as a screening tool, then verify whether the product also meets the measure’s written scope.
• Ask your customs broker to review entry requirements, cash-deposit treatment, and importer-of-record liability before shipment.
• Keep technical specifications, product samples or photographs, purchase records, and origin documents to support your classification and scope analysis.
