Scope text

Legally operative description of covered merchandise from the Federal Register

The merchandise subject to this investigation is PRCBs, which also may be referred to as t-shirt sacks, merchandise bags, grocery bags, or checkout bags. The subject merchandise is defined as non-sealable sacks and bags with handles (including drawstrings), without zippers or integral extruded closures, with or without gussets, with or without printing, of polyethylene film having a thickness no greater than 0.035 inch (0.889 mm) and no less than 0.00035 inch (0.00889 mm), and with no length or width shorter than 6 inches (15.24 cm) or longer than 40 inches (101.6 cm). The depth of the bag may be shorter than 6 inches but not longer than 40 inches (101.6 cm). PRCBs are typically provided without any consumer packaging and free of charge by retail establishments, e.g., grocery, drug, convenience, department, specialty retail, discount stores, and restaurants to their customers to package and carry their purchased products. The scope of this investigation excludes (1) polyethylene bags that are not printed with logos or store names and that are closeable with drawstrings made of polyethylene film and (2) polyethylene bags that are packed in consumer packaging with printing that refers to specific end-uses other than packaging and carrying merchandise from retail establishments, e.g., garbage bags, lawn bags, trash-can liners.

Frequently asked questions

What is AD/CVD case A-583-843?

What is the deposit rate for A-583-843?

The country-wide cash deposit rate for A-583-843 is 28.69%. This rate applies to importers of non-listed manufacturers/exporters from Taiwan.

How do I check if my shipment falls within the scope of A-583-843?

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 Taiwan. 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-583-843?

A-583-843 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.
