Glycine — India — A-533-883

A trade measure titled “Glycine” and identified as AD/CVD concerns glycine products covered by U.S. trade-remedy rules. “AD” means antidumping: the U.S. may impose additional duties when imported goods are sold at less than fair value and that pricing is found to injure a U.S. industry. “CVD” means countervailing duty: additional duties may apply when imported goods benefit from government subsidies and those benefits are found to harm a U.S. industry. 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 entering covered glycine from specified countries or exporters. Coverage depends on the legal product description and tariff classification, not simply on the product name. An importer may be responsible for declaring the correct classification, identifying the manufacturer and exporting country, depositing applicable duties, and maintaining supporting records. The final amount can depend on the applicable proceeding, exporter, entry details, and official instructions, so customs-broker or trade-counsel review may be appropriate.

What to check

• Read the measure’s scope and product description, including chemical form, purity, uses, packaging, and exclusions; do not rely on the word “glycine” alone.
• Confirm the HTSUS classification, country of origin, manufacturer, exporter, and supplier; classification and origin are separate determinations.
• Check the official AD/CVD case and Customs instructions for whether the specific country, producer, exporter, and entry date are covered, without assuming ordinary duty treatment answers the AD/CVD question.
• Ask your customs broker or trade counsel to review scope, cash-deposit, liquidation, bonding, and reimbursement requirements before importing if coverage is uncertain.
• Keep purchase orders, invoices, production and origin records, product specifications, and supplier certifications that support the entry and any claimed exclusion.
