Corrugated Die-Cut Cardboard Boxes — Türkiye — C-489-861

A measure on “Corrugated Die-Cut Cardboard Boxes” is an AD/CVD trade remedy. “AD” means antidumping: it addresses imports that may be sold in the United States at less than fair value. “CVD” means countervailing duty: it addresses imports that benefit from certain foreign-government subsidies. These duties are separate from ordinary customs duty and may apply in addition to it.

The measure typically affects manufacturers, exporters, importers of record, and sometimes related parties involved in importing qualifying boxes from specified countries. Coverage usually depends on the product’s physical features, how it is made and used, and its country of origin—not simply the commercial name. Importers must review the legal scope, determine the correct tariff classification, and follow any special entry, cash-deposit, and recordkeeping requirements. A customs broker or trade-remedy specialist may be needed for difficult scope or origin questions.

What to check

• Read the official scope language and compare the product’s materials, construction, dimensions, shape, printing, assembly, and intended use; do not rely only on the product description or tariff number.
• Confirm the product’s country of origin and distinguish it from the country of export, shipment, or invoicing.
• Verify the HTSUS classification, while remembering that an HTSUS number is an identification aid and does not by itself decide whether the product is covered.
• Check the applicable AD/CVD case instructions for entry-filing, cash-deposit, certification, and importer-of-record requirements before shipping.
• Request a formal scope or classification review, or consult a qualified customs broker or trade-remedy attorney, when the product falls near the scope boundaries.
