Solid Urea — Moldova — A-841-801

“Solid Urea” identifies the product scope, while “AD/CVD” means antidumping and countervailing duty measures. Antidumping (AD) duties address imports that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value. Countervailing (CVD) duties address alleged benefits from foreign government subsidies. These duties are separate from ordinary customs duty and may apply in addition to it.

The measure typically affects importers, manufacturers, distributors, and other parties bringing covered solid urea into the United States from specified countries or producers. The key issue is not just the product’s everyday name: coverage depends on the official scope language, including product characteristics, exclusions, country of origin, exporter or producer, and applicable classification codes. An importer may be responsible for declaring the merchandise correctly and paying any required additional duties, often called special duties, based on official instructions. A customs broker or trade specialist should review difficult scope or origin questions.

What to check

• Read the official scope description, including physical characteristics, chemical form, packaging, and stated exclusions; do not rely only on the product name or tariff code.
• Confirm the product’s country of origin and identify the actual manufacturer and exporter, because AD/CVD treatment can vary by country and company.
• Compare the scope with the relevant HTSUS classification codes, but treat those codes as a screening tool rather than the final decision on coverage.
• Check current government instructions for entry type, cash-deposit requirements, liquidation, and any applicable AD/CVD case or message information before filing.
• Keep product specifications, supplier statements, origin records, invoices, and production details that support your classification and scope determination; obtain broker or customs counsel advice when coverage is uncertain.
