Uranium — Germany — C-428-829

An AD/CVD measure concerning uranium is a U.S. trade remedy that may apply to qualifying uranium products from specified foreign sources. “AD” means antidumping: the government may impose an additional duty when imports are found to be sold in the United States at less than fair value. “CVD” means countervailing duty: an additional duty may address certain foreign-government subsidies. The measure’s official scope—not the product title alone—controls whether an entry is covered.

This typically affects importers, manufacturers, distributors, and end users bringing covered uranium products into the United States, including parties involved in customs entry and duty payment. It matters because AD/CVD can be collected in addition to ordinary customs duties, may require special entry information or cash deposits, and can create later liability if the final amount differs from the deposit. Coverage depends on the product’s technical characteristics, tariff classification, country of export or origin, named producers or exporters, and any exclusions or scope rulings.

What to check

• Read the official measure scope and product definition; do not rely on the product name or HTS classification alone.
• Check the relevant HTSUS provisions, country-of-origin and export requirements, and the listed producers or exporters against your shipment documents.
• Confirm whether the transaction requires AD/CVD entry reporting, cash deposits, or other customs instructions, and verify the current instructions with official U.S. sources.
• Keep product specifications, mill or producer records, invoices, bills of lading, and origin documentation that support your coverage analysis.
• Ask a licensed customs broker or trade counsel to review ambiguous products, exclusions, scope questions, and potential later-duty liability.
