This is an informational message. No action is required. 1. AD/CVD orders generally cover products from a particular country. In some cases, however, products from the country subject to the AD/CVD order may undergo completion or assembly in a third country prior to export or sale to the United States. The products may remain subject to the AD/CVD order despite the completion or assembly that occurs in the third country. However, for CBP purposes, the country of origin for such products may be the third country where the completion or assembly occurred. For technical reasons, the country of the AD/CVD case number must match the CBP country of origin in the entry summary documentation. Accordingly, Commerce establishes third country AD/CVD case numbers that match the CBP country of origin for CBP purposes. 2.
