Textiles & Textile Products — Colombia — C-301-401

“Textiles & Textile Products” describes a broad goods category, such as apparel, fabrics, yarns, made-up textile articles, or other products classified in textile-related tariff provisions. The exact scope depends on the product’s material, construction, use, and tariff classification—not just its marketing name.

“AD/CVD” means antidumping and countervailing duties. Antidumping (AD) duties address imports that are found to be sold at less than normal value, while countervailing (CVD) duties address benefits from foreign government subsidies. These measures typically affect importers of covered merchandise from specified countries or producers, and may create additional duty liability separate from ordinary customs duty. The importer of record is generally responsible for declaring the goods correctly and paying duties, subject to applicable rules and official instructions.

What to check

• Confirm the product’s HTSUS classification, including fiber content, construction, garment or article type, and intended use.
• Check the measure’s official scope language rather than relying only on a product title, invoice description, or country-of-origin label.
• Verify the exporting country, producer, and exporter; AD/CVD treatment can vary by country and by company-specific or all-others findings.
• Determine whether the shipment requires an AD/CVD entry message, cash deposit, bond, certificate, or other documentation under current official instructions.
• Ask a customs broker or trade specialist to review borderline products, scope questions, and any possible exclusions before entry.
