Large Residential Washers — China — A-570-033

A measure covering “Large Residential Washers” is an antidumping and countervailing duty measure, commonly abbreviated AD/CVD. Antidumping duties address imports sold at less than normal value, while countervailing 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 importers, manufacturers, exporters, and related parties involved with covered residential washing machines from specified countries or producers. Coverage depends on the legal product description, including the washer’s characteristics, configuration, and intended residential use—not just its brand name or tariff classification. If applicable, the importer may need to pay additional deposits at entry and later face a final duty assessment; the importer of record is generally responsible for compliance, even when another party arranged the shipment.

What to check

• Read the measure’s official scope language and compare it with the product’s physical features, model, capacity, and intended use.
• Check both the applicable HTS classification and the named countries, producers, exporters, or manufacturers; an HTS code alone does not determine coverage.
• Confirm whether the product is subject to antidumping duties, countervailing duties, or both, and identify the required cash-deposit instructions for the specific entry.
• Review commercial invoices, manufacturer and exporter details, product specifications, and origin records for consistency.
• Ask a customs broker or trade counsel to make a scope determination when the product is similar to, but may differ from, the examples or exclusions in the official scope.
