As printed in the order notice (85 FR 1298, 10 January 2020). 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 covered by these orders, polyester textured
yarn, is synthetic multifilament yarn that is manufactured from
polyester (polyethylene terephthalate). Polyester textured yarn is
produced through a texturing process, which imparts special
properties to the filaments of the yarn, including stretch, bulk,
strength, moisture absorption, insulation, and the appearance of a
natural fiber. This scope includes all forms of polyester textured
yarn, regardless of surface texture or appearance, yarn density and
thickness (as measured in denier), number of filaments, number of
plies, finish (luster), cross section, color, dye method, texturing
method, or packing method (such as spindles, tubes, or beams).
Excluded from the scope of these orders is bulk continuous
filament yarn that: (a) is polyester synthetic multifilament yarn;
(b) has denier size ranges of 900 and above; (c) has turns per meter
of 40 and above; and (d) has a maximum shrinkage of 2.5 percent.
The merchandise subject to these orders is properly classified
under subheadings 5402.33.3000 and 5402.33.6000 of the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). …

What A-533-885 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. Because a companion countervailing case exists, an entry of Polyester Textured Yarn from India carries both deposits. The same product from two plants in India 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.
