Certain Preserved Mushrooms — Indonesia — A-560-802

An AD/CVD measure combines antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) rules. AD addresses merchandise that is allegedly sold in the United States at less than normal value, while CVD addresses benefits allegedly provided by a foreign government. “Certain Preserved Mushrooms” describes the covered merchandise; the official scope, not the title alone, determines what is included.

These measures typically affect foreign producers and exporters, as well as US importers of record bringing the covered goods into the United States. The importer may have to identify the correct tariff classification, provide entry information, pay applicable additional duties, and meet customs procedures beyond ordinary import requirements. AD/CVD liability can depend on details such as the product’s characteristics, country of origin, producer or exporter, and the applicable scope language, so a customs broker or trade attorney may need to review borderline products.

What to check

• Read the official scope language and compare it with the product’s ingredients, preservation method, packaging, and intended use; do not rely on the measure title alone.
• Confirm the product’s HTS classification, country of origin, manufacturer, and exporter, recognizing that an HTS number helps identify merchandise but does not by itself decide scope coverage.
• Ask a customs broker or trade counsel to check whether separate AD and CVD requirements, company-specific rates, cash-deposit rules, or certification requirements apply to the shipment.
• Review commercial invoices, packing lists, entry data, and supplier records for consistent product descriptions and accurate producer and exporter information.
• Check current official agency instructions before entry and retain supporting records in case Customs and Border Protection or the relevant trade agencies review the import.
