Utility Scale Wind Towers — Indonesia — A-560-833

A measure covering “Utility Scale Wind Towers” is an antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) trade remedy. AD duties address imports sold in the United States at unfairly low prices, while CVD duties address imports that benefit from certain government subsidies. These duties are separate from ordinary customs duties and may apply in addition to them.

The measure typically concerns large wind-turbine tower sections and related parts that meet the official product description, often based on factors such as the tower’s design, dimensions, use, and country of origin. It can affect manufacturers, exporters, US importers, distributors, and project owners involved in importing covered merchandise. Product names alone do not decide coverage: the controlling language is the scope, and classification under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) is used for customs reporting but may not by itself determine whether the goods are covered.

What to check

• Read the measure’s official scope carefully and compare it with the product’s specifications, intended use, components, and assembly status.
• Confirm the country of origin and whether any processing, assembly, or shipment through another country changes the origin analysis; seek broker or trade counsel advice when uncertain.
• Check the listed HTSUS provisions as identification aids, but do not rely on the tariff number alone to determine coverage.
• Ask the exporter for the producer, manufacturer, and exporter identities, and verify whether the applicable AD/CVD instructions require company-specific information or certifications.
• Review current government instructions for entry filing, cash-deposit requirements, and possible scope inquiries before importing; obtain a customs professional’s judgment for borderline products.
