Scope text

Legally operative description of covered merchandise from the Federal Register

The products covered by these orders are bands made of vulcanized rubber, with a flat length, as actually measured end-to-end by the band lying flat, no less than 1/2 inch and no greater than 10 inches; with a width, which measures the dimension perpendicular to the length, actually of at least 3/64 inch and no greater than 2 inches; and a wall thickness actually from 0.020 inch to 0.125 inch. Vulcanized rubber has been chemically processed into a more durable material by the addition of sulfur or other equivalent curatives or accelerators. Subject products are included regardless of color or inclusion of printed material on the rubber band's surface, including but not limited to, rubber bands with printing on them, such as a product name, advertising, or slogan, and printed material (e.g., a tag) fastened to the rubber band by an adhesive or another temporary type of connection. The scope includes vulcanized rubber bands which are contained or otherwise exist in various forms and packages, such as, without limitation, vulcanized rubber bands included within a desk accessory set or other type of set or package, and vulcanized rubber band balls. The scope excludes products that consist of an elastomer loop and durable tag all-in-one, and bands that are being used at the time of import to fasten an imported product. Excluded from the scope of the orders are vulcanized rubber bands of various sizes with arrow shaped rubber protrusions from the outer diameter that exceeds at the anchor point a wall thickness of 0.125 inches and where the protrusion is used to loop around, secure and lock in place. Excluded from the scope of the orders are yarn/fabric-covered vulcanized rubber hair bands, regardless of size.

Frequently asked questions

What is AD/CVD case A-570-069?

A-570-069 is a U.S. antidumping duty (AD) order on rubber bands from China, 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-570-069?

The country-wide cash deposit rate for A-570-069 is 26.65%. This rate applies to importers of non-listed manufacturers/exporters from China. 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-570-069 take effect, and is it still active?

A-570-069 took effect on February 19, 2019 and is currently in revoked status. Revoked orders no longer require cash deposits — the order is closed. Importers should still verify the revocation date and any continuation/sunset history before relying on this for an entry.

How do I check if my shipment falls within the scope of A-570-069?

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 China. 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-570-069?

A-570-069 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-570-069?

The official Federal Register citation for A-570-069 is 2019-02-19 FR Doc. 2019-02783. 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-570-069?

A-570-069 has a companion case at C-570-070. 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.
