U.S. Antidumping & Countervailing Duties on Cold-Rolled Steel Flat Products from China (A-570-029, C-570-030)

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-rolled steel flat products from China may be subject to both a U.S. antidumping order (A-570-029) and a countervailing duty order (C-570-030).

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

The U.S. maintains both an antidumping (AD) order (A-570-029) and a countervailing duty (CVD) order (C-570-030) on certain cold-rolled steel flat products from China. Importers of these steel products from China should carefully review whether their goods may fall within the scope of either or both orders before entry.

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)

•May include cold-rolled (cold-reduced) flat-rolled steel in coils 12.7 mm or wider
•May include cold-rolled flat steel in straight lengths meeting the scope's thickness and width dimensional criteria
•May include annealed, painted, varnished, or plastic/non-metallic coated cold-rolled flat steel
•May include interstitial-free (IF) steels and high strength low alloy (HSLA) steels within the described chemistry
•May include motor lamination steels with micro-alloying levels of silicon and aluminum
•May include Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) and Ultra High Strength Steel (UHSS) products
•May include cold-rolled products worked after rolling, such as beveled or rounded edges

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

?May exclude products that are clad, plated, or coated with metal
?May exclude flat steel not meeting the specified width and thickness dimensional thresholds
?May exclude hot-rolled steel that has not undergone cold reduction
?May exclude steel with chemistry exceeding the scope's specified alloying-element limits
?May exclude products expressly excluded by Commerce's written scope language

Scope control: HTS codes serve only as screening references; Commerce's written scope language is authoritative in determining coverage, and worked-after-rolling or dimensionally qualifying products may still be covered.

Who it affects

This typically matters for importers of Chinese-origin cold-rolled flat-rolled steel — including coils and cut lengths, coated with non-metallic substances, and specialty grades like IF, HSLA, AHSS, and UHSS — used in automotive, appliance, construction, and manufacturing supply chains.

What the duty means

Covered goods generally require cash deposits at entry. Rates vary by exporter/producer and administrative review and can be substantial. A 0% cash-deposit rate is NOT an exemption — the order still applies and entries must be declared. Because both AD and CVD orders exist, deposits under both may apply.

Importer checklist — how to assess your risk

☐Gather the commercial invoice with a detailed product description
☐Collect product photos, mill certificates, and spec sheets showing dimensions and chemistry
☐Confirm material composition, including alloying elements and any coating type (metallic vs. non-metallic)
☐Document the intended use and product form (coil vs. straight length)
☐Verify country-of-origin support and the full manufacturing chain
☐Identify the manufacturer and exporter names and confirm the exact producer/exporter combination
☐Determine the 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 applicable cash-deposit rate against current Commerce results and CBP AD/CVD messages before filing

Risks to watch

⚠Circumvention or transshipment findings involving processing through third countries
⚠Scope inquiries that reinterpret whether a specific product is covered
⚠Using the wrong exporter/producer combination and applying an incorrect deposit rate
⚠Misdeclaration exposing the importer to penalties and retroactive duty liability

The same cold-rolled steel product may be subject to separate orders from other countries such as India, Japan, and South Korea, so each country of origin should be reviewed independently.

FAQ

Is there antidumping duty on cold-rolled steel flat products from China?

There is an antidumping order (A-570-029) and a countervailing duty order (C-570-030) covering certain cold-rolled steel flat products from China; whether your specific goods fall within scope depends on Commerce's written scope language 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, entries must be declared, and rates can change through administrative review.

Are parts or unassembled cold-rolled steel products covered?

Cold-rolled products worked after rolling or in various forms may still be covered depending on Commerce's scope; importers should verify rather than assume exclusion.

Possible risk

Risk signal: Higher concern if the goods are cold-rolled flat-rolled steel of Chinese origin meeting the scope's dimensional and chemistry criteria; separate review is needed for coatings, specialty grades, cut-to-length products, and third-country processing.

Bottom line: Cold-rolled steel flat products from China may be covered by A-570-029 (AD) and C-570-030 (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.
