Solid Urea — Tajikistan — A-842-801

A measure titled “Solid Urea” and identified as AD/CVD concerns trade remedies that may apply to qualifying solid urea imported into the United States. AD means antidumping: it addresses merchandise that Commerce determines is sold in the United States at less than normal value. CVD means countervailing duty: it addresses merchandise that benefits from government subsidies in the exporting country. These duties are separate from ordinary customs duty and may apply in addition to it.

The measure typically affects US importers, customs brokers, manufacturers, distributors, and other parties entering covered merchandise, depending on the product’s country of origin, exporter or producer, and the scope language. Product names and an HTS classification are useful starting points, but they do not by themselves determine coverage. The importer must compare the product’s physical characteristics, processing, packaging, and origin with the official scope and confirm the applicable entry and reporting requirements with CBP or a qualified customs professional.

What to check

• Read the official scope description and compare it with the product’s composition, physical form, concentration, packaging, and intended use.
• Confirm the country of origin and identify the actual manufacturer, producer, exporter, and seller; AD/CVD treatment can vary by these details.
• Use the relevant HTS classification as a screening tool, not as the sole basis for deciding whether the merchandise is covered.
• Ask your customs broker or trade counsel how to report the entry, including any required AD/CVD case identifiers, cash-deposit procedures, and importer certifications.
• Keep product specifications, invoices, origin records, supply-chain information, and scope-analysis documents in case CBP or Commerce requests support.
