As printed in the order notice (91 FR 27023, 13 May 2026). 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.

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 Orders
The merchandise subject to these orders is temporary steel
fencing. Temporary steel fencing consists of temporary steel fence
panels and temporary steel fence stands. Temporary steel fence
panels, when assembled with temporary steel fence stands or other
types of stands outside of the scope, with each other, or with
posts, create a free-standing fence. Temporary steel fence panels
are covered by the scope regardless of whether they attach to a
stand or the type of stand to which they connect.
Temporary steel fence panels have a welded frame of steel tubing
and an interior consisting of chain link, steel wire mesh, or other
steel materials that are not more than ten millimeters in actual
diameter or width. The steel tubing may surround all edges of the
temporary steel fence panel or only be attached along two parallel
sides of the panel. All temporary steel fence panels with at least
two framed sides are covered by the scope, regardless of the number
of edges framed with steel tubing.
Temporary steel fence panels are typically between 10 and 12
feet long and six to eight feet high, though all temporary steel
fence panels are covered by the scope regardless of dimension or
weight as long as a single panel meets each of the three following
criteria: (1) it has over seven and a half square feet in actual
surface area; (2) it weighs more than four pounds; and (3) it weighs
less than 1.92 pounds per square foot. …

What A-570-198 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 Temporary Steel Fencing from China carries both deposits. The same product from two plants in China 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. China 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.
