Rates in the order notice
14.69%All-others subsidy rate
As printed in the order notice (84 FR 19039, 3 May 2019). 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 Order
The merchandise covered by this order is cast iron soil pipe,
whether finished or unfinished, regardless of industry or
proprietary specifications, and regardless of wall thickness,
length, diameter, surface finish, end finish, or stenciling. The
scope of this order includes, but is not limited to, both hubless
and hub and spigot cast iron soil pipe. Cast iron soil pipe is
nonmalleable iron pipe of various designs and sizes. Cast iron soil
pipe is generally distinguished from other types of nonmalleable
cast iron pipe by the manner in which it is connected to cast iron
soil pipe fittings.
Cast iron soil pipe is classified into two major types--hubless
and hub and spigot. Hubless cast iron soil pipe is manufactured
without a hub, generally in compliance with Cast Iron Soil Pipe
Institute (CISPI) specification 301 and/or American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM) specification A888, including any
revisions to those specifications. Hub and spigot pipe has one or
more hubs into which the spigot (plain end) of a fitting is
inserted. All pipe meeting the physical description set forth above
is covered by the scope of this order, whether or not produced
according to a particular standard.
The subject imports are currently classified in subheading
7303.00.0030 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS): Cast iron soil pipe. …

What C-570-080 means when you import
Cash deposit at entry. For every entry of goods in scope, CBP collects an estimated countervailing 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 antidumping case exists, an entry of Cast Iron Soil Pipe 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.
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.
