This educational explainer covers the U.S. countervailing duty (CVD) order on carbon and alloy steel threaded rod from China, identified by case number C-570-105. This is a CVD order only; the material provided does not include an antidumping (AD) case number for China. Importers should verify whether their specific goods may fall within the written scope.

Scope — simplified screening examples, not full legal scope

The official written scope controls. The examples below are screening references only.

Products that may be covered (examples)

•Steel threaded rod made from carbon or alloy steel that may fall within the scope
•Fully threaded steel rod (threaded end to end) that may be covered
•Steel rod threaded along a portion of its length, subject to scope language
•Steel threaded rod in various diameters and lengths that may be included
•Steel threaded studs or all-thread rod that may fall within scope
•Threaded rod that is cut, coated, plated, or galvanized but otherwise meets the scope

Products that may require separate review or may fall outside this order

?Stainless steel threaded rod, which is typically outside the carbon/alloy scope
?Threaded fasteners such as bolts, screws, or nuts (finished fasteners)
?Anchor bolts or other specialized fastener products, depending on scope wording
?Non-steel rod (for example, brass or aluminum) which is generally not covered
?Certain finished assemblies where the threaded rod is only a component, depending on scope

Scope control: HTS codes are screening references only; Commerce's written scope language controls whether a product is covered, and parts, unfinished, coated, or partially threaded items may still fall within scope depending on that language.

Who it affects

This typically matters for importers of steel threaded rod, all-thread, or threaded studs made of carbon or alloy steel sourced from or processed in China, including distributors and construction/industrial supply buyers.

What the duty means

If covered, entries typically require a CVD cash deposit at the time of entry; rates vary by exporter/producer and administrative review and can be significant. A 0% deposit rate is NOT an exemption — the order still applies and the merchandise must be declared. Only a CVD case (C-570-105) is provided here, so AD deposits are not indicated by these facts.

Importer checklist — how to assess your risk

☐Gather the commercial invoice description and confirm exact product wording matches the scope.
☐Collect product photos and spec sheets showing thread type, dimensions, and finish.
☐Confirm the material composition (carbon or alloy steel versus stainless or non-steel).
☐Document the intended use and product form (rod versus finished fastener).
☐Verify and document country-of-origin support, including manufacturing and processing locations.
☐Identify the manufacturer and exporter names and confirm the exact producer/exporter combination.
☐Determine the correct HTS classification for screening, understanding it does not decide scope.
☐Consult a licensed customs broker or trade counsel to confirm scope; do not rely only on supplier statements.
☐Verify the current cash-deposit rate against current Commerce results and CBP AD/CVD messages before filing.

Risks to watch

⚠Circumvention or transshipment findings if goods are routed through third countries to disguise Chinese origin.
⚠Scope inquiries that may clarify whether a specific product form is covered.
⚠Using the wrong exporter/producer combination, which can change the applicable cash-deposit rate.
⚠Misdeclaration or misclassification leading to penalties, retroactive duties, and interest.

The same product may be subject to trade-remedy orders in more than one country — related CVD proceedings exist for India, and threaded rod investigations have also involved Taiwan — so each origin should be checked on its own facts.

FAQ

Is there antidumping duty on Carbon and Alloy Steel Threaded Rod from China?

The facts provided identify a countervailing duty (CVD) order under case number C-570-105 for China; they do not include a China AD case number, so this explainer addresses the CVD order only. Importers should verify current AD/CVD status with Commerce and CBP.

Does a 0% deposit rate mean no duty?

No. A 0% cash-deposit rate is not an exemption — the order still applies, the merchandise must be declared, and rates can change through administrative review. Importers should verify current rates before filing.

Are parts or unassembled Carbon and Alloy Steel Threaded Rod covered?

They may still be covered depending on Commerce's written scope; partially threaded, cut, coated, or component forms can fall within scope, so importers should confirm the specific language and consult a licensed broker.

Possible risk

Risk signal: Higher concern if the goods are carbon or alloy steel threaded rod of Chinese origin; separate review is needed for stainless steel, finished fasteners, coated or partially threaded variants, components, and third-country processing.

Bottom line: Carbon and alloy steel threaded rod from China may be covered by CVD case C-570-105; confirm the written scope, origin, exporter/producer identity, and current deposit rates before entry.

Not a scope determination or filing advice — confirm coverage and current deposit rates with a licensed customs broker and the latest Commerce/CBP instructions before entry.
