Fresh & Chilled Atlantic Salmon — Norway — A-403-801

“Fresh & Chilled Atlantic Salmon” describes a trade-remedy measure that may apply to imported salmon products meeting the measure’s product scope. AD means antidumping: the government may impose an additional duty when imports are sold in the United States at less than fair value. CVD means countervailing duty: an additional duty may apply when imported goods benefit from certain government subsidies. These duties are separate from ordinary customs duties.

The measure typically affects importers, customs brokers, exporters, producers, and other parties responsible for entries of covered salmon. Whether a shipment is covered depends on the official scope language, including the product’s species, condition, processing, packaging, and country of origin. The tariff classification, or HTSUS subheading, can help identify a product but does not by itself determine whether the product is within the scope. An importer may need to deposit additional duties and meet special entry, certification, or reporting requirements; confirm the details with official sources or a qualified customs professional.

What to check

• Read the official scope language and compare it with the product’s species, fresh or chilled condition, processing, packaging, and physical characteristics.
• Confirm the country of origin and distinguish it from the country of export; trade remedies often depend on origin.
• Check the applicable HTSUS classification, but do not rely on the tariff number alone to decide scope.
• Ask the customs broker or importer of record to verify whether AD/CVD procedures, cash-deposit requirements, certifications, or entry codes apply.
• Keep product specifications, invoices, origin records, and supplier statements that support the scope and classification analysis.
