A-428-843: antidumping duty order on Non-Oriented Electrical Steel from Germany
A-428-843 is the US Department of Commerce case number for the antidumping duty order on Non-Oriented Electrical Steel from Germany, in force since 3 December 2014 and continued after a sunset review on 18 May 2026. Goods in scope entered under this case carry an antidumping cash deposit at entry on top of the normal duty.
Reviewed September 2026 against the ITA order list and the Federal Register.

Rates in the order notice
86.29%All-others weighted-average dumping margin
As printed in the order notice (79 FR 71741, 3 December 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 Orders
The merchandise subject to these orders consists of non-oriented
electrical steel (NOES), which includes cold-rolled, flat-rolled, alloy
steel products, whether or not in coils, regardless of width, having an
actual thickness of 0.20 mm or more, in which the core loss is
substantially equal in any direction of magnetization in the plane of
the material. The term ``substantially equal'' means that the cross
grain direction of core loss is no more than 1.5 times the straight
grain direction (i.e., the rolling direction) of core loss. NOES has a
magnetic permeability that does not exceed 1.65 Tesla when tested at a
field of 800 A/m (equivalent to 10 Oersteds) along (i.e., parallel to)
the rolling direction of the sheet (i.e., B<INF>800</INF> value). NOES
contains by weight more than 1.00 percent of silicon but less than 3.5
percent of silicon, not more than 0.08 percent of carbon, and not more
than 1.5 percent of aluminum. NOES has a surface oxide coating, to
which an insulation coating may be applied.
NOES is subject to these orders whether it is fully processed
(i.e., fully annealed to develop final magnetic properties) or semi-
processed (i.e., finished to final thickness and physical form but not
fully annealed to develop final magnetic properties). …

What A-428-843 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 Germany 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.
