Top-Of-The-Stove Stainless Steel Cooking Ware — South Korea — C-580-602

A U.S. AD/CVD measure concerning “Top-Of-The-Stove Stainless Steel Cooking Ware” addresses certain stainless steel cookware designed for cooking on a stovetop. The scope may depend on the product’s construction, materials, features, and intended use—not only on the product description or tariff number. The official scope language controls what is covered.

AD means antidumping, which addresses merchandise sold in the United States at less than normal value under the applicable trade rules. CVD means countervailing duty, which addresses certain foreign-government subsidies. These additional duties typically affect importers of covered merchandise from specified countries, and the importer of record is generally responsible for declaring the merchandise correctly and paying any applicable amounts. Coverage can differ by country and product details, so classification and scope review matter.

What to check

• Read the official scope language and product exclusions; do not rely on the title alone.
• Confirm the product’s material, construction, dimensions, design, intended use, and included components against the scope description.
• Check the applicable HTSUS classification, but treat the tariff number as a screening tool—not proof that the product is covered or excluded.
• Verify the country of origin and, where relevant, the country of export, manufacturer, and producer because AD/CVD measures can be country- and company-specific.
• Before entry, confirm current instructions and any required cash-deposit, certification, or documentation requirements with official sources or a qualified customs broker.
