Certain cut-to-length carbon steel plate from China may be subject to a U.S. antidumping (AD) duty order under case number A-570-849. This is an AD order only; no separate countervailing duty case is listed here. Importers should verify whether their specific goods fall within Commerce's 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)

•Flat-rolled carbon steel plate cut to length that may fall within scope
•Carbon steel plate with a nonrectangular cross-section achieved after rolling (e.g., worked after rolling)
•Plate that has been beveled at the edges after rolling
•Plate that has been rounded at the edges after rolling
•Certain flat-rolled products classifiable under the HTS numbers referenced in the scope (for screening only)

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

?Grade X-70 steel plate, which the scope specifically excludes
?Steel products of a shape or type not described in the written scope
?Stainless or alloy steel products falling outside the carbon steel description
?Plate from countries other than China (covered, if at all, only by that origin's own order)
?Products not classifiable under the carbon steel flat-rolled categories referenced in scope

Scope control: The HTS numbers in the order are provided for convenience and customs screening only; Commerce's written scope language is dispositive on whether a product is covered, and worked, unfinished, or further-processed plate may still be covered depending on that scope.

Who it affects

This typically matters for importers of flat-rolled carbon steel plate cut to length from China, including plate that has been beveled or rounded (worked after rolling), and anyone sourcing steel plate that could match the described product categories.

What the duty means

If goods fall within scope, importers post an AD cash deposit at entry; rates vary by exporter/producer and by administrative review and can be high. A 0% deposit rate is NOT an exemption — the order still applies and entries must be declared. Only an AD order is listed here, so no separate CVD deposit under this case number.

Importer checklist — how to assess your risk

☐Gather the commercial invoice with a detailed product description and dimensions.
☐Collect product photos and mill test certificates or spec sheets showing grade and processing.
☐Document the material composition and steel grade (e.g., whether it is grade X-70).
☐Confirm the intended use and whether the plate was worked after rolling (beveled/rounded).
☐Assemble country-of-origin support and the full manufacturer and exporter names.
☐Verify the specific producer/exporter combination against current Commerce results.
☐Determine the HTS classification for screening purposes only, not as proof of scope.
☐Consult a licensed customs broker or trade counsel to confirm scope — do not rely only on supplier statements.
☐Check the current cash-deposit rate against the latest Commerce determinations 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 could clarify whether specific plate types are covered.
⚠Applying the wrong exporter/producer combination and posting an incorrect deposit rate.
⚠Misdeclaration penalties and retroactive duty liability for inaccurate origin or product statements.

The same product may be subject to separate orders from other countries — a related order exists for Russia — so each origin should be checked on its own facts without any attempt to evade duties.
