Frequently asked questions

What is AD/CVD case A-533-917?

A-533-917 is a U.S. antidumping duty (AD) order on paper shopping bags from India, issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce. It is part of the trade-remedy regime that levies cash deposits at entry on imports found to be sold below fair value (AD) or to benefit from foreign government subsidies (CVD).

What is the deposit rate for A-533-917?

The country-wide cash deposit rate for A-533-917 is 1.2%. This rate applies to importers of non-listed manufacturers/exporters from India. Individual exporters and producers may have lower (or higher) case-specific rates from Commerce administrative reviews — see the manufacturer rates linked from this page where available.

When did A-533-917 take effect, and is it still active?

A-533-917 took effect on July 24, 2024 and is currently in active status — cash deposits apply at entry on every shipment in scope.

How do I check if my shipment falls within the scope of A-533-917?

Two factors determine scope: (1) the product's HTS code(s) and physical characteristics — covered codes are listed on this page (2 flagged); and (2) the product's country of origin — this order applies to imports from India. The order's scope text — also on this page — is the legally binding description. When borderline cases arise, importers can request a formal scope ruling from Commerce. Tandom's lookup tool matches your HTS + origin against every active order in seconds.

What HTS codes are covered by A-533-917?

A-533-917 flags 2 HTS codes in Tandom's catalog. The full list is shown on this page. HTS coverage alone does not guarantee scope — physical-characteristic exclusions in the scope text may carve out specific products.

Where is the official Federal Register notice for A-533-917?

The official Federal Register citation for A-533-917 is 2024-15746. The link is on this page; clicking it opens the canonical FR document on federalregister.gov, which carries the legally operative text — scope, rates, exclusions, and effective dates.

What is the companion case for A-533-917?

A-533-917 has a companion case at C-533-918. AD orders frequently run alongside a CVD order on the same product/country (or vice versa). Both deposits stack on top of base duties — importers pay the full sum of both rates at entry where both orders apply.
