Rates in the order notice
20.58%All-others weighted-average dumping margin
As printed in the order notice (79 FR 65925, 6 November 2014). The deposit an entry pays today is the rate assigned to the exporter or producer on the invoice in the latest administrative review, which can be higher or lower than this; a company that has never been reviewed keeps the all-others rate. Check the current rate for your supplier in Commerce's ACCESS case record before pricing an order.

Scope, from the order notice
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to this order is steel concrete reinforcing
bar imported in either straight length or coil form (rebar) regardless
of metallurgy, length, diameter, or grade. The subject merchandise is
classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS) primarily under item numbers 7213.10.0000, 7214.20.0000, and
7228.30.8010.
The subject merchandise may also enter under other HTSUS numbers
including 7215.90.1000, 7215.90.5000, 7221.00.0015, 7221.00.0030,
7221.00.0045, 7222.11.0001, 7222.11.0057, 7222.11.0059, 7222.30.0001,
7227.20.0080, 7227.90.6085, 7228.20.1000, and 7228.60.6000.
Specifically excluded are plain rounds (i.e., non-deformed or smooth
rebar). Also excluded from the scope is deformed steel wire meeting
ASTM A1064/A1064M with no bar markings (e.g., mill mark, size or grade)
and without being subject to an elongation test. HTSUS numbers are
provided for convenience and customs purposes; however, the written
description of the scope remains dispositive.

What A-201-844 means when you import
Cash deposit at entry. For every entry of goods in scope, CBP collects an estimated antidumping duty cash deposit at the rate assigned to the exporter or producer on the entry, on top of the Column 1 duty and any Chapter 99 trade-remedy lines. The same product from two plants in Mexico can deposit at different rates, so ask the supplier which legal entity will appear as exporter and as producer on the invoice before you price the order.
Deposit now, final duty later. The deposit is not the final duty. The entry stays unliquidated until Commerce completes the administrative review for the period it was entered in, then CBP liquidates it at the rate that review sets, and bills or refunds the difference with interest. AD/CVD entries therefore stay open for years, and the importer of record carries the difference. Commerce must be asked for a review each anniversary month of the order; if nobody asks, entries liquidate at the deposit rate.
Reimbursement certificate. Before liquidation the importer files a certificate under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) stating whether the exporter has paid or reimbursed the antidumping duty. If it is not filed, Commerce may presume reimbursement and deduct the duty a second time in the margin calculation. Brokers file it with the entry summary; make sure yours does.
Entry reporting. The AD/CVD case number goes on the 7501 line alongside the HTS number, and any Chapter 99 lines the goods carry are reported in the order CBP prescribes; the tariff updates tracker carries the current Chapter 99 sequence and the actions behind it. Goods finished, cut or packaged in a third country stay in scope if the notice's written scope covers them, so a change of shipping origin is not a change of AD/CVD origin.
Estimating the stack. The tariff simulator returns the Column 1 rate and the Chapter 99 additional duties for an HTS number and origin; it does not add antidumping or countervailing deposits. Add the deposit at your supplier's current rate on top of what it shows. Airlift USA does not hold a US customs broker licence; entries on cargo we move are filed through our licensed broker network.
