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

Certain pea protein from China may be covered by two U.S. Department of Commerce orders: an antidumping (AD) order under case A-570-154 and a countervailing duty (CVD) order under case C-570-155. Because both orders exist, importers may face both AD and CVD cash-deposit requirements at entry and should verify scope before importing.

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)

•Isolated pea protein powder that may fall within the described scope
•Pea protein concentrate that may be covered depending on Commerce's written scope
•Pea protein derived from yellow field peas that may be included
•Pea protein used as a food or nutritional ingredient that may fall within scope
•Bulk pea protein sold to processors or manufacturers that may be covered
•Textured pea protein products that may be within scope depending on their form

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

?Other plant proteins such as soy, rice, or wheat protein that are typically outside this order
?Whole dried peas or pea flour that are not processed into protein isolate/concentrate, which may be excluded
?Finished consumer retail products where pea protein is only one minor ingredient, which may fall outside scope
?Animal-based proteins, which are typically not covered
?Pea starch or pea fiber byproducts that may be outside the described scope

Scope control: Any HTS codes are screening references only; Commerce's written scope language ultimately controls whether a product is covered, and parts, unfinished, or further-processed forms may still fall within scope.

Who it affects

This typically matters for importers, food and supplement manufacturers, ingredient distributors, and traders sourcing pea protein isolates or concentrates from Chinese producers or exporters.

What the duty means

Importers may be required to post cash deposits at entry for both AD (A-570-154) and CVD (C-570-155). Rates vary by exporter/producer combination and administrative review and can be very high; a 0% deposit rate is NOT an exemption — the order still applies and entries must be declared as subject merchandise.

Importer checklist — how to assess your risk

☐Gather the commercial invoice description and confirm the exact product name and form.
☐Collect product photos, spec sheets, and technical data sheets showing protein content and processing.
☐Document the material composition to confirm the product is pea-derived protein.
☐Identify the intended use (food, supplement, feed, industrial) to support scope screening.
☐Obtain country-of-origin support and manufacturing records to confirm true origin.
☐Record both the manufacturer/producer name and the exporter name, and verify the specific producer/exporter combination.
☐Determine the correct HTS classification for screening purposes only.
☐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 the latest Commerce results and CBP AD/CVD messages before filing entry.

Risks to watch

⚠Circumvention or transshipment findings if goods are routed or lightly processed through third countries.
⚠Scope inquiries where Commerce may determine a product form falls within the order.
⚠Using the wrong exporter/producer combination, which can trigger the much higher China-wide entity rate.
⚠Misdeclaration or failure to declare subject merchandise, which can lead to penalties and retroactive duty liability.

The same product may be subject to trade-remedy orders in more than one country, so importers should independently review each origin they source from rather than assume any single supply route avoids coverage.

FAQ

Is there antidumping duty on pea protein from China?

There is an antidumping order under case A-570-154 and a separate countervailing duty order under case C-570-155 on certain pea protein from China. Whether your specific product is covered depends on Commerce's written scope, which importers should verify.

Does a 0% deposit rate mean no duty?

No. A 0% cash-deposit rate is not an exemption. The orders (A-570-154 and C-570-155) still apply, entries must be declared as subject merchandise, and rates can change through administrative review.

Are parts or unfinished pea protein covered?

Unfinished, further-processed, or intermediate forms may still be covered depending on Commerce's written scope language; importers should confirm with a licensed broker before filing.

Possible risk

Risk signal: Higher concern if the goods are pea protein isolate or concentrate of Chinese origin; a separate review is needed for blends, other plant proteins, repackaged goods, byproducts, and any third-country processing. This does not state the goods are covered.

Bottom line: Certain pea protein from China may be covered by A-570-154 (AD) and C-570-155 (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.
