C-533-905 is a U.S. countervailing duty (CVD) order on steel nails from India, 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).
The country-wide cash deposit rate for C-533-905 is 2.85%. This rate applies to importers of non-listed manufacturers/exporters from India.

C-533-905 took effect on August 22, 2022 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 (34 flagged); and (2) the product's country of origin — this order applies to imports from India. 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.
