Agricultural Tillage Tools — Brazil — C-351-406

An AD/CVD measure concerns imports covered by an antidumping (AD) or countervailing duty (CVD) order. AD duties address imports sold at less than normal value, while CVD duties address benefits that a foreign government provides to producers or exporters. “Agricultural Tillage Tools” is a product description; the legally controlling scope is the order’s written scope, not the title alone.

These measures typically affect US importers, foreign producers and exporters, manufacturers, and sometimes trading companies handling the covered goods. They matter because additional duties may apply alongside ordinary customs duty, and the importer of record is generally responsible for entry information, duty payment, and compliance. Coverage can depend on the product’s physical characteristics, intended use, materials, dimensions, and production process—not only its tariff classification or commercial name.

What to check

• Read the official AD/CVD order scope and compare its product descriptions, exclusions, and physical specifications with the merchandise.
• Confirm the correct Harmonized Tariff Schedule classification, but do not treat an HTSUS number as proof that the product is covered or excluded.
• Identify the actual manufacturer, producer, exporter, and country of origin; AD/CVD treatment can vary by producer, exporter, or proceeding.
• Check official Customs and trade-agency instructions for the applicable case information, cash-deposit requirements, entry documentation, and liquidation treatment.
• Request a customs broker’s or trade counsel’s scope analysis when the product is borderline, specially configured, or described differently from the order.
