Solid Urea — Lithuania — A-451-801

“Solid urea” generally refers to urea presented in a solid form, such as prills or granules. A trade measure labeled AD/CVD may involve antidumping (AD) duties, which address merchandise allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value, and countervailing duties (CVD), which address alleged government subsidies. These are separate from ordinary customs duty and may apply in addition to it.

The measure typically affects U.S. importers of covered merchandise, as well as foreign producers, exporters, and suppliers. Whether a shipment is covered depends on the legal scope description—not just the product name or HTS classification—and may depend on the product’s physical characteristics, origin, producer, exporter, and transaction details. Importers may need to provide additional entry information and pay AD/CVD cash deposits, with final liability potentially determined later through administrative review or liquidation. A customs broker or trade attorney should assess uncertain classifications and scope questions.

What to check

• Read the official scope language and compare the product’s form, composition, specifications, and intended use; do not rely on the product name alone.
• Confirm the country of origin, manufacturer, exporter, and supply chain, because AD/CVD treatment can vary by country or company.
• Check the applicable HTS classification, but treat it as an identification aid rather than conclusive proof that the product is covered or excluded.
• Ask your customs broker to verify required entry messaging, cash-deposit instructions, bonds, and documentation before importing.
• Keep purchase records, product specifications, origin documents, and supplier certifications so you can support the coverage analysis and respond to Customs or Commerce inquiries.
