Carbon and Certain Alloy Steel Wire Rod — Indonesia — A-560-815

“Carbon and Certain Alloy Steel Wire Rod” describes a product category, not every steel wire product. Wire rod is steel made in long, coiled form that is commonly used as an input for wire, fasteners, wire products, and other downstream goods. “Carbon” and “alloy” identify steel compositions, while the product scope may also depend on physical characteristics, manufacturing method, dimensions, grade, and stated exclusions.

“AD/CVD” means antidumping and countervailing duty measures. Antidumping (AD) duties address imports that the government determines are sold at less than fair value; countervailing (CVD) duties address benefits from foreign government subsidies. These measures typically affect importers of covered wire rod from specified countries or exporters. An importer may owe additional duties beyond ordinary customs duty, and can face liability if the product is entered under the wrong classification or scope interpretation.

What to check

• Check the official scope language, including steel chemistry, dimensions, form, production method, and exclusions—not just the product name.
• Confirm the exporting country, producing country, manufacturer, and exporter; AD/CVD coverage can depend on these parties and their assigned rates or status.
• Review the applicable U.S. HTS classification, but do not rely on the tariff number alone; scope language controls whether the merchandise is covered.
• Keep mill certificates, product specifications, invoices, and supply-chain records that support the material’s grade, composition, dimensions, and origin.
• Ask a customs broker or trade counsel to review borderline products and entry procedures, including any cash-deposit, bonding, reporting, or liability requirements.
