U.S. Antidumping & Countervailing Duties on Cold-Drawn Mechanical Tubing from China (A-570-058 / C-570-059)

This is an educational summary — NOT a scope determination or filing advice. It does not decide whether your specific goods are covered. Always verify against the latest U.S. Commerce and CBP instructions.

Cold-drawn mechanical tubing from China may be subject to both a U.S. antidumping order (A-570-058) and a countervailing duty order (C-570-059).

Cold-drawn mechanical tubing from China may fall within the scope of two U.S. Department of Commerce orders: antidumping case A-570-058 and countervailing duty case C-570-059. Because both AD and CVD orders exist, importers may face two separate cash-deposit requirements at entry and should verify scope and origin carefully.

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)

•Cold-drawn carbon and alloy steel mechanical tubing that may be used in structural or machine applications
•Cold-drawn tubing that is cold-drawn or cold-rolled to final dimensions
•Round, non-stainless mechanical tubing produced by cold-drawing
•Cold-drawn tubing dual- or multiple-certified to an included specification even if also certified to an otherwise excluded one
•Mechanical tubing in a range of diameters and wall thicknesses produced by the cold-drawing process
•Non-stainless cold-drawn tubing not certified to the specific excluded ASTM/ASME/API specifications

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

?Cold-drawn stainless steel tubing containing 10.5% or more chromium and not more than 1.2% carbon by weight (may be outside scope)
?Tubing certified to ASTM A-53 or ASTM A-106 (may be excluded)
?Tubing certified to ASTM A-179, A-192, A-209, A-210, or A-213 boiler/heat-exchanger specifications (may be excluded)
?Tubing certified to API 5L or API 5CT line-pipe/casing specifications (may be excluded), unless also dual-certified to an included specification
?Tubing certified to ASTM A-500 structural specification (may be excluded)

Scope control: The listed HTSUS numbers are provided for customs and screening convenience only; Commerce's written scope language is dispositive, and even products meeting an excluded specification may still be covered if dual- or multiple-certified to an included specification.

Who it affects

This typically matters for importers of non-stainless carbon or alloy steel cold-drawn mechanical tubing from China, and for manufacturers or distributors sourcing tubing for machine, structural, or general industrial applications.

What the duty means

Importers may owe cash deposits at entry for both the antidumping (A-570-058) and countervailing (C-570-059) orders; 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 entries must be declared.

Importer checklist — how to assess your risk

☐Gather the commercial invoice with a full product description of the tubing.
☐Collect product photos, spec sheets, and any mill test certificates showing certified specifications.
☐Confirm the material composition (carbon, alloy, or stainless) and chromium/carbon content.
☐Document the intended use and manufacturing process (whether cold-drawn to final dimensions).
☐Verify country-of-origin support, including manufacturer and exporter names.
☐Identify the specific producer/exporter combination to determine the applicable cash-deposit rate.
☐Confirm the HTSUS classification against the numbers listed in the scope for screening only.
☐Consult a licensed customs broker or trade counsel to assess scope — do not rely only on supplier statements.
☐Verify the current rate against the latest 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 dual- or multiple-certified tubing may still be covered despite an excluded specification.
⚠Applying the wrong exporter/producer combination, resulting in an incorrect cash-deposit rate.
⚠Misdeclaration or failure to declare, which may lead to penalties and retroactive duty assessment.

The same product may be subject to separate orders from other countries — related cases exist for Germany, India, Italy, and South Korea — so importers should review the actual origin of each shipment rather than assume a switch of source avoids duties.

FAQ

Is there antidumping duty on cold-drawn mechanical tubing from China?

There are two orders that may apply: an antidumping order (A-570-058) and a countervailing duty order (C-570-059). Whether a specific shipment falls within scope depends on Commerce's written scope language, so importers should verify carefully.

Does a 0% deposit rate mean no duty?

No. A 0% cash-deposit rate is not an exemption. The order still applies, entries must be declared, and rates can change through administrative review, potentially affecting final liability.

Are parts or unassembled cold-drawn tubing covered?

They may still be covered depending on Commerce's written scope. Certified specifications, dual-certification, and material composition can all affect coverage, so importers should confirm scope with a licensed broker before filing.

Possible risk

Risk signal: Higher concern if the goods are non-stainless cold-drawn mechanical tubing of Chinese origin; a separate review is needed for stainless grades, tubing certified to excluded specifications, dual-certified products, parts, and third-country processing.

Bottom line: Cold-drawn mechanical tubing from China may be covered by A-570-058 (AD) and C-570-059 (CVD); confirm scope, certifications, 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.
