Glycine — India — C-533-884

A measure labeled “Glycine” and classified as AD/CVD concerns glycine products that may be covered by a U.S. trade remedy order. AD means antidumping: the government may impose additional duties when imports are found to be sold in the U.S. at less than fair value. CVD means countervailing duty: additional duties may apply when imports benefit from certain foreign government subsidies. These duties are separate from ordinary customs duty and may apply in addition to it.

The measure typically affects importers, manufacturers, distributors, and other parties bringing covered glycine into the United States, depending on the product’s physical characteristics, origin, producer, exporter, and entry details. The product’s tariff classification, often identified by an HTSUS number, helps locate the measure but does not by itself decide coverage. The controlling scope description and official instructions must be reviewed, because similar products can be treated differently and AD/CVD liability can involve importer-of-record responsibilities, cash deposits, and later assessment of final duties.

What to check

• Read the measure’s scope description and compare it with the product’s ingredients, purity, form, packaging, and intended use; do not rely on the product name alone.
• Confirm the product’s country of origin, manufacturer, exporter, and supply chain records, since AD/CVD treatment can vary by these details.
• Check the current HTSUS classification and the relevant AD/CVD case or message in official U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Commerce Department sources; treat the tariff number as a research aid, not conclusive proof of coverage.
• Ask your customs broker or trade counsel to verify the required cash-deposit instructions and any importer-of-record obligations before entry.
• Keep commercial invoices, product specifications, origin records, producer and exporter information, and classification support in case Customs or the administering agency requests documentation.
