Legally operative description of covered merchandise from the Federal Register
A-588-602 is a U.S. antidumping duty (AD) order on carbon steel butt-weld pipe fittings from Japan, 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).
A-588-602 has no published country-wide rate in Tandom's catalog at this time. Cash deposits are still owed at entry — the applicable rate depends on the specific manufacturer/exporter and the most recent administrative review. Check the linked Federal Register notice and the manufacturer rates for this case for the operative number.
A-588-602 is on the U.S. AD/CVD register and is currently in active status — cash deposits apply at entry on every shipment in scope.
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 Japan. 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.
A-588-602 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.
The official Federal Register citation for A-588-602 is E9-6347. 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.
