Rates in the order notice
225.86%Vietnam-Wide Entity rate
As printed in the order notice (88 FR 73311, 25 October 2023). 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.
HTS numbers named in the scope
The subheadings the notice lists as the ones subject merchandise may enter under. They are given for convenience; the written scope is what decides whether goods are covered, and goods under other numbers can still be in scope.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this order is cold water gas powered
pressure washers (also commonly known as power washers), which are
machines that clean surfaces using water pressure that are powered
by an internal combustion engine, air-cooled with a power take-off
shaft, in combination with a positive displacement pump. This
combination of components (i.e., the internal combustion engine, the
power take-off shaft, and the positive displacement pump) is defined
as the ``power unit.'' The scope of this order covers cold water gas
powered pressure washers, whether finished or unfinished, whether
assembled or unassembled, and whether or not containing any
additional parts or accessories to assist in the function of the
``power unit,'' including, but not limited to, spray guns, hoses,
lances, and nozzles. The scope of this order covers cold water gas
powered pressure washers, whether or not assembled or packaged with
a frame, cart, or trolley, with or without wheels attached.
For purposes of this order, an unfinished and/or unassembled
cold water gas powered pressure washer consists of, at a minimum,
the power unit or components of the power unit, packaged or imported
together. …

What A-552-008 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 Vietnam 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. Vietnam is treated as a non-market economy in antidumping cases: an exporter that has not established its own separate rate deposits at the country-wide rate, which is normally the highest in the case.
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.
