Checked
Lowest AD rate in our data: 14.35% (Senmao). It applies only when that company is the exporter on your invoice. All exporter rates
Exporter and separate rates
A company rate applies only when the exporter on your commercial invoice is that company, under the name printed in the notice. Every other Chinese exporter pays the China-wide AD rate and the all-others CVD rate.
Reviews since the order. The China-wide AD rate dates from the investigation (76 FR 76690). The all-others CVD rate dates from the investigation (76 FR 76693). We have not logged every review on this order yet, so check the newest CBP message before you rely on it.
The deposit is not the final bill. The cash deposit is an estimate paid at entry. The final duty is set when the entry liquidates, after any review of its period, and it can be higher or lower; CBP bills the difference or refunds it, with interest.
The US importer of record owes it. A DDP quote moves that bill to the seller only if the seller, or its US agent, is the importer of record. If your company is named as importer, the exposure is yours whatever the quote says, and an importer whose AD duty is paid or reimbursed by the exporter can be assessed double AD duty (19 CFR 351.402(f)).

How to confirm the rate before entry
- 1. Search CBP's AD/CVD message database for A-570-970 and C-570-971. The newest cash-deposit message should carry the same rate and effective date as the notice above. If it shows a later date, a newer notice exists. We could not read the database from our tools, so this page cites no CBP message numbers; search it yourself or ask your broker for the current message number.
- 2. Get the exporter's and producer's full legal names from the factory, as they will appear on the commercial invoice, and compare them with the rate table. A trading company has its own rate or none.
- 3. Send your broker the questions below before the goods ship, with the product spec sheet.
- 4. Budget for the final bill, not just the deposit (why).
Ask your broker
- Which case numbers and which exporter and producer will you declare, and what rate does the current CBP message give that combination?
- Does anything in this shipment fall under the scope traps or rulings on this page, or need a scope ruling first?
- If the goods were cut, finished or assembled outside China, does the entry need an importer or exporter certification?
- Is our customs bond large enough for a 60.34% deposit on this shipment's entered value?
- Which other duties will you file on these HTS numbers, and at what rates?
