Certain Preserved Mushrooms — China — A-570-851

An AD/CVD measure covering Certain Preserved Mushrooms is a trade remedy that may apply to imported preserved mushroom products. “AD” means antidumping: a remedy for merchandise sold in the United States at less than fair value. “CVD” means countervailing duty: a remedy for merchandise that benefits from certain government subsidies in the exporting country. These are separate from ordinary customs duties and may require additional deposits at entry.

The measure typically affects importers, manufacturers, exporters, and products that fall within the official scope, or legal product description, of the proceeding. Product coverage is determined by the scope language and relevant facts—not by a product name alone. HTS classification numbers can help identify potentially covered goods, but they are generally an aid and do not by themselves decide whether merchandise is subject. An importer of record may be responsible for correct entry information, required deposits, and later duty assessments, so professional customs-broker or trade counsel review may be appropriate.

What to check

• Read the official scope carefully and compare the product’s ingredients, preservation method, packaging, and physical characteristics—not just its commercial name.
• Confirm the country of origin and, where relevant, the exporter or producer; AD/CVD treatment can depend on these details and on the applicable order or determination.
• Review the likely HTS classification, but do not rely on the tariff number alone to decide scope coverage.
• Ask your customs broker whether an AD/CVD entry requirement, cash-deposit instruction, or special reporting flag applies before importing.
• Keep product specifications, supplier statements, invoices, and origin records so you can support the scope and classification analysis if Customs or the relevant trade authorities review the entry.
