Large Residential Washers — South Korea — C-580-869

“Large Residential Washers” is a trade-remedy measure covering certain household washing machines, as defined by the official scope description. The product’s physical features, intended use, configuration, and other scope details—not just its marketing name—help determine whether it is covered.

“AD/CVD” means antidumping and countervailing duties. Antidumping (AD) duties address imports sold at less than fair value, while countervailing (CVD) duties address benefits a foreign government provides to producers or exporters. These measures typically affect foreign manufacturers and exporters, US importers of record, and sometimes related sellers or producers. For an importer, coverage can create additional duty liability, documentation requirements, and possible responsibility for later duty assessments.

What to check

• Read the official scope language and compare it with the washer’s model, capacity, features, and intended residential use.
• Confirm the applicable HTSUS classification, but do not rely on the tariff number alone; scope language controls coverage.
• Check whether the manufacturer, exporter, country of origin, and entry date fall within the measure’s coverage and current instructions.
• Ask Customs and Border Protection, the relevant agency, or a qualified customs broker about cash-deposit, entry-reporting, and liquidation requirements.
• Keep product specifications, commercial invoices, origin records, and manufacturer statements that support your scope and classification analysis.
