Honey — Argentina — A-357-812

An AD/CVD measure concerning honey is a trade remedy that may apply to covered honey imported into the United States from specified countries or suppliers. “AD” means antidumping: it addresses imports allegedly sold at less than normal value. “CVD” means countervailing duty: it addresses imports that allegedly benefit from government subsidies. These duties are separate from ordinary customs duty and other import charges.

The measure typically affects importers, foreign producers, exporters, and sometimes related parties involved in the supply chain. Whether it applies depends on the product’s legal scope, country of origin, producer and exporter, and the relevant entry circumstances—not simply on the product being described as honey. An importer may need to provide additional entry information, pay required cash deposits, and later face a different final duty liability after administrative review or liquidation. A customs broker or trade counsel should confirm the official scope and entry requirements.

What to check

• Read the official scope language carefully, including covered honey forms, blends, packaging, exclusions, and product descriptions.
• Confirm the country of origin and identify the actual producer and exporter; do not rely only on the seller’s name or shipping location.
• Check the applicable AD and CVD instructions for the specific producer, exporter, and entry type before filing the entry.
• Ask your customs broker or trade counsel how to report the measure, calculate any required cash deposit, and preserve records supporting the declared facts.
• Monitor official notices and reviews because deposit instructions and final liability can change after the original entry.
