The U.S. Department of Commerce maintains an antidumping (AD) duty order on artist canvas from China under case number A-570-899. This is an AD order only; no countervailing (CVD) case number was provided here. Importers of artist canvas of Chinese origin should review whether their goods may fall within its scope.
Scope — simplified screening examples, not full legal scope
The official written scope controls. The examples below are screening references only.
- •Artist canvas may include primed or prepared canvas made from cotton, cotton blends, or other fabrics coated for painting
- •May include stretched artist canvas mounted on wooden stretcher bars
- •May include artist canvas panels or boards
- •May include canvas rolls sold for artistic painting use
- •May include canvas pads intended for painting
- •May include primed canvas whether or not further finished or packaged for retail
- ?Unprimed or raw canvas fabric not prepared for painting may fall outside the order (verify against scope)
- ?Printed canvas artwork or finished decorative canvas prints may be outside scope
- ?Canvas intended for industrial, upholstery, or tarpaulin use may be excluded
- ?Non-canvas painting surfaces such as paper or synthetic drawing sheets may be outside scope
- ?Bags, apparel, or footwear made of canvas material are typically unrelated to this order
Who it affects
This typically matters for importers, distributors, and art-supply retailers bringing primed or prepared artist canvas of Chinese origin into the United States, whether stretched, panel, board, roll, or pad form.
What the duty means
If merchandise falls within scope, a cash deposit is collected at entry. AD deposit rates vary by exporter/producer and change through administrative reviews and can be substantial; a 0% deposit rate is NOT an exemption, as the order still applies and entries must be declared. Only an AD order was provided here.
Importer checklist — how to assess your risk
- ☐Gather the commercial invoice with a detailed product description of the canvas type and preparation
- ☐Collect product photos and spec sheets showing priming, mounting, and format (stretched, panel, roll, pad)
- ☐Document the material composition, including fabric type and any coating or primer
- ☐Confirm the intended use of the canvas (artistic painting versus industrial or other use)
- ☐Obtain country-of-origin support and manufacturing records for the goods
- ☐Identify the exact manufacturer and exporter names and the specific producer/exporter combination
- ☐Determine the correct HTS classification for screening purposes only
- ☐Confirm scope questions with a licensed customs broker or qualified trade counsel, and do not rely only on supplier statements
- ☐Verify the applicable cash-deposit rate against current Commerce results and CBP AD/CVD messages before filing
Risks to watch
- ⚠Circumvention or transshipment findings where goods are routed through third countries to disguise Chinese origin
- ⚠Scope inquiries by Commerce that may clarify whether a specific canvas product is covered
- ⚠Using the wrong exporter/producer combination and applying an incorrect deposit rate
- ⚠Misdeclaration of origin or scope status, which can lead to penalties and retroactive duties
