Effective/entry-specific deposit and liquidation treatment depends on Commerce and CBP instructions, not only the publication date.

Cast iron soil pipe fittings from China may fall within two U.S. Department of Commerce orders: an antidumping (AD) order under case A-570-062 and a countervailing duty (CVD) order under case C-570-063. Because both an AD and a CVD order exist, both types of cash deposits may apply to covered entries.

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)

•Nonmalleable cast iron soil pipe fittings, finished or unfinished, of any size
•Hubless (no-hub) fittings, often made to CISPI 301 or ASTM A888 specifications
•Hub and spigot fittings that connect to cast iron soil pipe
•Bends and elbows used in soil pipe drainage systems
•Tees and wyes for cast iron soil pipe assemblies
•Traps used with cast iron soil pipe
•Drains (other than drain bodies) and other common or special fittings
•Fittings with or without side inlets

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

?Drain bodies, which Commerce/ITC treated as a separate product and excluded from these orders
?Malleable cast iron fittings (the scope covers nonmalleable castings)
?Fittings that connect to pipe by a different method than cast iron soil pipe
?Cast iron fittings intended for uses other than soil pipe drainage systems
?Finished drain fixtures assembled from drain bodies with strainers, grates, or bolts

Scope control: HTS subheadings (such as those referenced in the scope) are provided for screening and customs convenience only; Commerce's written scope language is dispositive, and finished, unfinished, or unassembled fittings may still be covered depending on that scope.

Who it affects

This typically matters for importers, distributors, and plumbing/construction suppliers bringing in cast iron soil pipe fittings of Chinese origin, including hubless and hub-and-spigot fittings such as bends, tees, wyes, and traps.

What the duty means

Covered goods generally require cash deposits at entry. Because both an AD order (A-570-062) and a CVD order (C-570-063) exist, both AD and CVD deposits may apply. Rates vary by exporter/producer and administrative review and can be high; importantly, a 0% deposit rate is NOT an exemption—the order still applies and entries must still be declared.

Importer checklist — how to assess your risk

☐Gather the commercial invoice description and confirm it matches the actual fitting type.
☐Collect product photos and spec sheets, noting whether fittings are hubless or hub-and-spigot.
☐Verify material composition to confirm nonmalleable cast iron.
☐Document the intended use to distinguish fittings from excluded drain bodies.
☐Obtain country-of-origin support and manufacturing records for the goods.
☐Identify the specific manufacturer and exporter names, and confirm the exact producer/exporter combination.
☐Determine the correct HTS classification for screening purposes.
☐Confirm scope questions with a licensed customs broker or 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 if goods are routed through third countries to disguise Chinese origin.
⚠Scope inquiries where a product's coverage under A-570-062 or C-570-063 is uncertain.
⚠Using the wrong exporter/producer combination and applying an incorrect deposit rate.
⚠Misdeclaration penalties, retroactive duties, and interest for failing to declare covered merchandise.

The same product may be subject to trade remedy orders from more than one country, so importers should review each origin independently based on where the goods were actually produced.

FAQ

Is there antidumping duty on cast iron soil pipe fittings from China?

There is a U.S. antidumping order (A-570-062) on cast iron soil pipe fittings from China, and there is also a separate countervailing duty order (C-570-063). Whether your specific goods are covered depends on Commerce's written scope, so importers should verify before entry.

Does a 0% deposit rate mean no duty?

No. A 0% cash-deposit rate is not an exemption. The order still applies, entries must still be declared, and rates can change through administrative reviews, so importers should verify the current rate before filing.

Are parts or unassembled cast iron soil pipe fittings covered?

The scope expressly includes finished and unfinished fittings, so unfinished or unassembled items may still be covered depending on Commerce's written scope language; importers should confirm with a licensed broker or trade counsel.

Possible risk

Risk signal: Higher concern if the goods are nonmalleable cast iron soil pipe fittings of Chinese origin, such as hubless or hub-and-spigot bends, tees, wyes, or traps; separate review is needed for drain bodies, unfinished or unassembled fittings, and any third-country processing.

Bottom line: Cast iron soil pipe fittings from China may be covered by both A-570-062 (AD) and C-570-063 (CVD); confirm 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.
