Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Investigations: Unwrought Palladium from Russian Federation (Russia)

Plain-English explanation

CSMS 65990849 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (trade policy), published on August 21, 2025. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Investigations: Unwrought Palladium from Russian Federation (Russia)". 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.

The Scope of Merchandise covered by these investigations reads as follows: The scope of this investigation is unwrought palladium.  Unwrought palladium includes palladium, whether or not refined, in the form of ingots, blocks, lumps, billets, cakes, slabs, pigs, cathodes, anodes, briquettes, cubes, sticks, grains, sponge, pellets, shot, powder, and similar primary forms. Unwrought palladium is covered by the scope regardless of production method.  The scope includes unwrought palladium produced through ore extraction, unwrought palladium produced by recycling palladium-containing scrap, unwrought palladium produced by any other method, and blends of unwrought palladium produced by different methods. The scope includes unwrought palladium that is commingled with unwrought palladium from sources not subject to this investigation or commingled with other metals.  Only the subject unwrought palladium component of such commingled products is covered by the scope of this investigation. Subject merchandise includes merchandise matching the above description that has been finished, packaged, or otherwise processed in a third country, including by refining, grinding, commingling, adding or removing additives (such as other metals), or performing any other finishing, packaging, or processing that would not otherwise remove the merchandise from the scope of the investigation if performed in the subject country. The covered merchandise is currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) at subheading 7110.21.0000.  Unwrought palladium meeting the scope description may also enter under HTSUS subheading 7110.29.0000.  Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and for customs purposes, the written description of the subject merchandise is dispositive. Parties may submit comments on the scope of the investigations.  Please be sure to comply with all requirements pertaining to submitting comments as described in the forthcoming Initiation Notices.  Upon their publication in the Federal Register, the Initiation Notices may be found at www.federalregister.gov via the search bar using the case numbers assigned to these investigations. Importers should be aware that entries of subject merchandise made after the initiation of an investigation may retroactively be subject to antidumping and/or countervailing duties.

Frequently asked questions

What is CSMS 65990849?

CSMS 65990849 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin titled "Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Investigations: Unwrought Palladium from Russian Federation (Russia)". CSMS bulletins are the operational instructions CBP issues to brokers, importers, and ACE filers covering rate changes, system updates, scope guidance, and other day-to-day customs-operations changes.

When was CSMS 65990849 published?

CBP published CSMS 65990849 on August 21, 2025. The bulletin's instructions are typically operative as of the publication date unless the body specifies a different effective date.

Is the CBP CSMS the legally binding instruction?

Yes — for at-the-border filing and entry collection. CSMS messages translate Commerce's Federal Register determinations into operational CBP instructions that ACE/ACS systems and brokers execute. The Federal Register notice is the underlying legal authority; the CSMS is the operational implementation. Both should be read together when reconciling a rate or scope change.
