Scope text

Legally operative description of covered merchandise from the Federal Register

The merchandise subject to the scope of these orders is hard empty capsules, which are comprised of two prefabricated, hollowed cylindrical sections (cap and body). The cap and body pieces each have one closed and rounded end and one open end, and are constructed with different or equal diameters at their open ends. Hard empty capsules are unfilled cylindrical shells composed of at least 80 percent by weight of a water soluble polymer that is considered non-toxic and appropriate for human or animal consumption by the United States Pharmacopeia--National Formulary (USP-NF), Food Chemical Codex (FCC), or equivalent standards. The most common polymer materials in hard empty capsules are gelatin derived from animal collagen (including, but not limited to, pig, cow, or fish collagen), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), and pullulan. Hard empty capsules may also contain water and additives, such as opacifiers, colorants, processing aids, controlled release agents, plasticizers, and preservatives. Hard empty capsules may also be imprinted or otherwise decorated with markings. Hard empty capsules are covered by the scope of these orders regardless of polymer material, additives, transparency, opacity, color, imprinting, or other markings. Hard empty capsules are also covered by the scope of these orders regardless of their size, weight, length, diameter, thickness, and filling capacity. Cap and body pieces of hard empty capsules are covered by the scope of these orders regardless of whether they are imported together or separately, and regardless of whether they are imported in attached or detached form. Hard empty capsules covered by the scope of these orders are those that disintegrate in water, simulated intestinal fluid, simulated gastric fluid, or other similar water-based (i.e., aqueous) fluids within 2 hours under tests specified in Chapter 701 of the USP-NF, or equivalent disintegration tests.

Frequently asked questions

What is AD/CVD case C-351-865?

C-351-865 is a U.S. countervailing duty (CVD) order on hard empty capsules from Brazil, 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 C-351-865?

The country-wide cash deposit rate for C-351-865 is 10.67%. This rate applies to importers of non-listed manufacturers/exporters from Brazil. 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 C-351-865 take effect, and is it still active?

C-351-865 took effect on February 23, 2026 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 C-351-865?

Two factors determine scope: (1) the product's HTS code(s) and physical characteristics — covered codes are listed on this page (6 flagged); and (2) the product's country of origin — this order applies to imports from Brazil. 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 C-351-865?

C-351-865 flags 6 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 C-351-865?

The official Federal Register citation for C-351-865 is 2026-03485. 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 C-351-865?

C-351-865 has a companion case at A-351-864. 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.
