Polyester Textured Yarn — Indonesia — A-560-838

A measure covering Polyester Textured Yarn is an antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) trade remedy. Antidumping duty addresses imports sold in the United States at less than fair value, while countervailing duty addresses benefits 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 U.S. importers, foreign exporters, manufacturers, and sometimes related parties handling covered polyester textured yarn. Whether a product is covered depends on the legal scope description—such as the yarn’s physical characteristics, construction, and intended use—not simply its product name or tariff classification. The Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) number is useful for screening, but it does not by itself decide coverage. An importer may need to provide AD/CVD cash deposits at entry and later face a final duty assessment, so correct scope and origin analysis matter.

What to check

• Read the measure’s official scope language and compare it with the product’s fiber content, yarn construction, denier, finish, packaging, and use.
• Confirm the country of origin and identify the foreign manufacturer and exporter; AD/CVD treatment can depend on these parties and the applicable producer or exporter information.
• Use the listed HTS classifications as a screening tool, but do not rely on the HTS number alone to determine whether the merchandise is covered.
• Ask a customs broker or trade counsel to review products that are borderline, specially processed, blended, or described by exclusions in the scope.
• Keep product specifications, invoices, origin records, manufacturer details, and entry documentation so the classification and AD/CVD treatment can be supported.
