Notice of preliminary determination in the antidumping duty investigation of active anode material from the People's Republic of China (A-570-194; A-588-194)

Plain-English explanation

CSMS 5211404 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (trade policy), published on July 30, 2025. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "Notice of preliminary determination in the antidumping duty investigation of active anode material from the People's Republic of China (A-570-194; A-588-194)". It links to 3 AD/CVD cases in Tandom's catalog. CSMS messages are the operational layer between Commerce determinations and at-the-border collections: when Commerce publishes a new rate, scope ruling, or instruction, CBP turns it into a CSMS that ACE/ACS systems and brokers act on.

1. On 07/22/2025, Commerce published in the Federal Register (90 FR 34423) its preliminary determination of sales at less than fair value and postponement of the final determination in the antidumping duty investigation of active anode material from the People's Republic of China. 2. The merchandise covered by this investigation has changed. The merchandise covered by the investigation is active anode material, which is an anode grade graphite material with a graphite minimum purity content of 90 percent carbon by weight, whether containing synthetic graphite, natural graphite, or a blend of synthetic and natural graphite; with or without coating. Subject merchandise may be in the form of powder, dry, liquid, or block form and is covered irrespective of the form in which it enters. Subject merchandise typically has a maximum size of 80 microns when in powder form. Subject merchandise has an energy density of 330 milliamp hours per gram or greater and a degree of graphitization of 80 percent or greater, where graphitization refers to the extent of the graphite crystal structure. Subject merchandise is covered regardless of whether it is mixed with silicon based active materials, e.g., silicon-oxide (SiOx), silicon-carbon (SiC), or silicon, or additives such as carbon black or carbon nanotubes. Subject merchandise is covered regardless of the combination of compounds that comprise the graphite material. Subject merchandise is covered regardless of whether it is imported independently, as part of a compound, in a battery, as a component of an anode slurry, or in a subassembly of a battery such as an electrode. Only the anode grade graphite material is covered when entered as part of a mixture with silicon based active materials, as part of a compound, in a battery, as a component of an anode slurry, or in a subassembly of a battery such as an electrode. Active anode material subject to the investigation may be classified under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings 2504.10.5000 and 3801.10.5000. Subject merchandise may also enter under HTSUS subheadings 2504.10.1000 and 3801.90.0000. The HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes only. The written description of the scope of the investigation is dispositive. 3. This proceeding has been assigned case number A-570-194. 4. For imports of active anode material from the People's Republic of China, CBP shall suspend liquidation of such shipments entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 07/22/2025. Effective 07/22/2025, CBP shall require, for such entries of active anode material from the People's Republic of China for the exporter/producer combinations listed below, a cash deposit equal to the antidumping duty cash deposits listed below.
