Scope text

Legally operative description of covered merchandise from the Federal Register

For purposes of this order, the products covered consist of all ``U'' shaped or ``hat'' shaped lawn and garden fence posts made of steel and/or any other metal, weighing 1 pound or less per foot, and produced in the PRC. The fence posts included within the scope of this order weigh up to 1 pound per foot and are made of steel and/or any other metal. Imports of these products are classified under the following categories: fence posts, studded with corrugations, knobs, studs, notches or similar protrusions with or without anchor posts and exclude round or square tubing or pipes. These posts are normally made in two different classes, light and heavy duty. Light duty lawn and garden fence posts are normally made of 14 gauge steel (0.068 inches - 0.082 inches thick), 1.75 inches wide, in 3, 4, 5, or 6 foot lengths. These posts normally weigh approximately 0.45 pounds per foot and are packaged in mini-bundles of 10 posts and master bundles of 400 posts. Heavy duty lawn and garden steel fence posts are normally made of 13 gauge steel (0.082 inches - 0.095 inches thick), 3 inches wide, in 5, 6, 7, and 8 foot lengths. Heavy duty posts normally weigh approximately 0.90 pounds per foot and are packaged in mini-bundles of 5 and master bundles of 200. Both light duty and heavy duty posts are included within the scope of the order. Specifically excluded from the scope are other posts made of steel and/or other metal including ``tee'' posts, farm posts, and sign posts, regardless of weight.

Frequently asked questions

What is AD/CVD case A-570-877?

A-570-877 is a U.S. antidumping duty (AD) order on lawn and garden steel fence posts 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-570-877?

The country-wide cash deposit rate for A-570-877 is 15.61%. 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-570-877 take effect, and is it still active?

A-570-877 took effect on July 18, 2008 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-570-877?

Two factors determine scope: (1) the product's HTS code(s) and physical characteristics — covered codes are listed on this page (1 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-570-877?

A-570-877 flags 1 HTS code 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-570-877?

The official Federal Register citation for A-570-877 is 2008-07-18 FR Doc. E8-16495. 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.
