Chromium Trioxide — India — A-533-944

“Chromium Trioxide” is the product name used for a U.S. trade measure involving antidumping (AD) and countervailing duties (CVD). AD duties generally address imports sold at less than fair value, while CVD duties address benefits, or subsidies, provided by a foreign government. These duties are separate from ordinary customs duty and may apply in addition to it.

The measure typically affects U.S. importers bringing covered chromium trioxide products from the specified countries of origin, as well as manufacturers, exporters, and suppliers involved in those transactions. Importers must determine whether their merchandise falls within the measure’s product scope, identify the applicable tariff classification and country of origin, and meet any special entry or cash-deposit requirements. The product description and legal scope control—not the product name alone—so a customs broker or trade counsel may be needed for difficult classification or scope questions.

What to check

• Read the measure’s legal product scope and exclusions; do not rely only on the commercial name “chromium trioxide.”
• Confirm the product’s Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) classification, country of origin, and whether the listed countries and suppliers are covered.
• Check the official AD/CVD instructions for the required case identifiers, entry documentation, cash-deposit treatment, and any importer certification requirements.
• Compare the measure information with the entry data your broker will file, including the manufacturer, exporter, and producer details.
• Ask a customs broker or trade counsel to review ambiguous product descriptions, origin issues, scope rulings, or possible exemptions before importing.
