The U.S. Department of Commerce maintains antidumping (AD) duty order A-570-047 on certain carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate from China. This is an AD-only case in this listing (no separate CVD case number is provided here). Importers of steel plate not in coils from China should review whether their 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)

•Hot-rolled or forged flat steel plate not in coils, whether or not painted, varnished, or coated with plastics/non-metallic substances
•Plate cut-to-length from coils or from other discrete-length plate
•Universal mill plates of a width over 150 mm but not over 1250 mm and thickness of at least 4 mm, not in coils
•Hot-rolled or forged flat steel plate of thickness 4.75 mm or more and width exceeding 150 mm (at least twice the thickness), not in coils
•Rectangular, square, circular, or other-shaped plate meeting the width/thickness rules
•Plate worked after rolling, such as beveled or rounded edges
•Cut-to-length plate further processed (e.g., pickled, oiled, levelled, annealed, trimmed, slit) in China or a third country where such processing does not remove it from scope

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

?Products clad, plated, or coated with metal (whether or not painted/varnished/coated with plastic or other non-metallic substances)
?Military-grade armor plate certified to specifications such as MIL-A-12560 and similar referenced specifications
?Flat steel products in coils (rather than cut-to-length, not-in-coil plate)
?Steel products in which iron does not predominate by weight, or with carbon content exceeding 2 percent by weight
?Products already covered by another existing order on that specific country

Scope control: HTS codes are screening references only; Commerce's written scope language controls whether a product is covered, and further-processed, worked-after-rolling, or third-country-processed plate may still be covered depending on that scope.

Who it affects

This typically matters for importers of carbon and alloy steel flat plate not in coils sourced from China, including distributors, fabricators, and manufacturers buying hot-rolled or forged discrete-length plate.

What the duty means

Antidumping duties are collected as cash deposits at entry; rates vary by exporter/producer and administrative review and can be high. A 0% cash-deposit rate is NOT an exemption — the order still applies and the entry must be declared. Only an AD case is listed here; no CVD case number is provided in this listing.

Importer checklist — how to assess your risk

☐Gather the commercial invoice description and confirm whether the goods are plate not in coils
☐Collect product photos and mill spec sheets showing thickness, width, and shape
☐Verify material composition, including iron predominance and carbon content by weight
☐Document the intended use and any processing (cutting, beveling, slitting, painting, coating)
☐Obtain country-of-origin support and trace any third-country processing
☐Identify the manufacturer and exporter names and the exact producer/exporter combination
☐Confirm the HTS classification with a licensed customs broker for screening
☐Verify the current cash-deposit rate against current Commerce results and CBP AD/CVD messages before filing
☐Do not rely only on supplier statements about scope or duty status

Risks to watch

⚠Circumvention or transshipment findings where Chinese-origin plate is routed or lightly processed through third countries
⚠Scope inquiries where product characteristics (thickness, width, coating) are borderline
⚠Applying the wrong exporter/producer combination and thus the wrong deposit rate
⚠Misdeclaration penalties for failing to declare merchandise subject to the order

The same cut-to-length plate product may be subject to separate orders from other countries — related listings include Belgium, Italy, Turkey, and Taiwan — so each origin should be reviewed on its own facts.

FAQ

Is there antidumping duty on carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate from China?

Commerce maintains AD order A-570-047 on certain carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate from China; whether your specific goods are covered depends on the written scope and should be verified.

Does a 0% deposit rate mean no duty?

No. A 0% cash-deposit rate is not an exemption; the order still applies, the entry must be declared, and rates can change through administrative reviews.

Are parts or further-processed plate covered?

Cut-to-length plate further processed in China or a third country (e.g., pickling, trimming, painting, slitting) may still be covered depending on Commerce's written scope; confirm before filing.

Possible risk

Risk signal: Higher concern if the goods are carbon or alloy steel plate not in coils of Chinese origin meeting the width/thickness rules; separate review needed for clad/coated plate, coils, armor plate, further-processed material, and third-country processing.

Bottom line: Certain carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate from China may be covered by AD order A-570-047; 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.
