Solid Urea — Georgia — A-833-801

A measure titled “Solid Urea” concerns certain solid urea products imported into the United States. “AD/CVD” means antidumping and countervailing duties: antidumping duties address imports sold at less than fair value, while countervailing duties address benefits that a foreign government provides to producers or exporters. These duties are separate from ordinary customs duty and may apply in addition to it.

The measure typically affects US importers, foreign producers and exporters, and sometimes related parties involved in the sale or shipment. Coverage is determined by the legal product description, including characteristics, forms, and exclusions—not by the product name alone. An HTS classification can help identify potentially relevant goods, but it does not by itself decide whether merchandise is within the scope. Importers may have additional entry, cash-deposit, recordkeeping, and potential duty-liability responsibilities, so a customs broker or trade attorney may be needed for a definitive scope determination.

What to check

• Compare the product’s physical characteristics, form, composition, and intended use with the measure’s official scope language, including all exclusions.
• Verify the country of origin, producer, exporter, and seller information; AD/CVD treatment can depend on these parties and the applicable measure.
• Use the relevant HTS classification as a screening tool, but do not rely on the tariff number alone to determine coverage.
• Ask your customs broker to confirm the required entry reporting, cash-deposit instructions, and documentation before importing potentially covered goods.
• Keep invoices, production and origin records, product specifications, and communications supporting your scope and classification analysis.
