Scope, from the order notice
Scope of the Orders
The merchandise covered by the orders is dioctyl terephthalate
(DOTP), regardless of form. DOTP that has been blended with other
products is included within this scope when such blends include
constituent parts that have not been chemically reacted with each
other to produce a different product. For such blends, only the DOTP
component of the mixture is covered by the scope of these orders.
DOTP that is otherwise subject to the orders is not excluded
when commingled with DOTP from sources not subject to this
investigation. Commingled refers to the mixing of subject and non-
subject DOTP.
[[Page 21900]]
Only the subject component of such commingled products is covered by
the scope of these orders.
DOTP has the general chemical formulation of
C<INF>6</INF>H<INF>4</INF>
(C<INF>8</INF>H<INF>17</INF>COO)<INF>2</INF> and a chemical name of
``bis (2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate'' and has a Chemical Abstract
Service (CAS) registry number of 6422-86-2. Regardless of the label,
all DOTP is covered by these orders.
Subject merchandise is currently classified under subheading
2917.39.2000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS). Subject merchandise may also enter under subheadings
2917.39.7000 or 3812.20.1000 of the HTSUS. While the CAS registry
number and HTSUS classifications are provided for convenience and
customs purposes, the written description of the scope of these
orders is dispositive.

What A-583-875 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 Taiwan 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.
