Glycine — China — A-570-836

A measure covering “Glycine” under AD/CVD generally concerns imports of a specified chemical product from particular countries or producers. AD means antidumping: the government may determine that merchandise is being sold in the United States at less than fair value. CVD means countervailing duty: the government may determine that foreign-government subsidies benefit the merchandise. These are trade remedies, separate from ordinary customs duty.

The measure typically affects U.S. importers, manufacturers, distributors, and other parties bringing in glycine that falls within the legal product scope. The scope description—not just the product name or tariff classification—controls coverage. If covered, an importer may face additional duties, commonly handled through cash deposits and later liquidation, and may need to provide accurate information about the exporter, producer, country of origin, and product description. Classification and scope questions may require a customs broker or trade attorney’s judgment.

What to check

• Read the official scope language carefully, including chemical specifications, forms, packaging, uses, and stated exclusions; do not rely on the product name alone.
• Confirm the country of origin and identify both the exporter and producer, because AD/CVD treatment can vary by country and company.
• Compare the merchandise details with the relevant HTS classification, while remembering that an HTS number helps identify possible coverage but does not decide scope by itself.
• Ask your customs broker to verify the applicable AD/CVD case information, deposit instructions, entry documentation, and any certification or exclusion requirements before importing.
• Keep technical specifications, purchase records, origin documents, and supplier information that support your scope and classification analysis, and monitor official updates because AD/CVD liability can change over time.
