Textiles & Textile Products — Thailand — C-549-401

An AD/CVD measure concerns trade remedies for imported goods. “AD” means antidumping: a finding that goods are being sold in the United States at less than fair value. “CVD” means countervailing duty: an additional duty addressing subsidies provided by a foreign government. “Textiles & Textile Products” is a broad product area; the exact coverage depends on the merchandise description, tariff classification, and the applicable order or determination.

These measures typically affect importers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers bringing covered textile goods from specified countries into the United States. They matter because the importer of record may owe additional duties, must provide accurate entry information, and may face special deposit, reporting, or liability requirements. A product’s ordinary HTSUS classification alone may not settle whether it is covered; the written scope and relevant official instructions control. When the scope is unclear, obtain guidance from CBP or a qualified customs broker or trade counsel.

What to check

• Confirm the product’s complete physical description, fiber content, construction, use, and country of origin.
• Compare the product with the measure’s official scope language, not just its title or HTSUS classification.
• Check the applicable AD/CVD case information and current instructions in official government sources before entry.
• Ask your customs broker to verify the correct entry treatment, cash-deposit requirements, and importer-of-record responsibilities.
• Keep specifications, supplier statements, origin records, invoices, and classification support in case coverage or duty treatment is reviewed.
