Solid Urea — Turkmenistan — A-843-801

A measure covering “Solid Urea” under AD/CVD involves two possible trade remedies. Antidumping (AD) duties may apply when imported goods are sold in the United States at less than fair value. Countervailing duties (CVD) may apply when foreign-government subsidies benefit the goods. These duties are separate from ordinary customs duty and may be collected in addition to it.

The measure typically affects US importers, manufacturers, distributors, and other parties bringing covered solid urea from specified countries into the United States. Whether a shipment is covered depends on the legal scope description—not just the product name or its HTS classification. Importers should compare the product’s physical characteristics, form, chemical composition, and country of origin with the scope, and confirm entry and cash-deposit requirements with official sources or a customs professional.

What to check

• Read the complete scope language and compare it with the product’s composition, physical form, packaging, and intended use.
• Confirm the product’s country of origin and the countries covered by the AD/CVD measure; do not rely only on the supplier’s shipping location.
• Use the HTS classification as a screening tool, but do not treat an HTS number alone as proof that the product is covered or excluded.
• Check current official instructions for cash deposits, entry reporting, exclusions, and any certification requirements before importing.
• Ask a customs broker or trade-remedy specialist to review ambiguous products, scope questions, and potential importer liability.
