Solid Urea — Belarus — A-822-801

A US AD/CVD measure on solid urea is a trade remedy that may apply to covered imports from specified countries. “AD” means antidumping duties, used when the government finds that imports are sold in the US at less than fair value. “CVD” means countervailing duties, used when imported goods benefit from government subsidies. These duties are separate from ordinary customs duties.

The measure typically affects importers, manufacturers, distributors, and other parties bringing covered solid urea into the United States. Coverage depends on the legal product scope, country of origin, and sometimes the exporter, producer, or transaction details. A product’s tariff classification, such as its HTSUS number, helps identify the goods but does not by itself determine whether the measure applies. Importers may face additional deposits, reporting requirements, and later duty assessment, so a customs broker or trade specialist may need to review the facts.

What to check

• Read the official scope language and compare the product’s physical characteristics, composition, packaging, and intended use; do not rely only on the product name.
• Confirm the country of origin and identify the actual producer, exporter, seller, and importer of record.
• Check the applicable HTSUS classification, while treating it as an identification aid rather than conclusive proof of coverage.
• Ask your customs broker or trade counsel whether an AD/CVD entry, cash-deposit instruction, certification, exclusion, or scope ruling may apply.
• Keep invoices, bills of lading, production records, origin documents, and product specifications that support the coverage analysis and entry filing.
