The U.S. Department of Commerce maintains an antidumping (AD) duty order on ferrovanadium from China under case number A-570-873. This is an AD order only; no countervailing (CVD) case number was provided here. Importers of ferrovanadium of Chinese origin should carefully review whether their goods may fall within the order's 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)

•Ferrovanadium alloy in lump or crushed form that may include a range of vanadium content
•Ferrovanadium used as an additive in steelmaking that may be within scope
•Bulk ferrovanadium shipments intended for melting into steel or specialty alloys
•Ferrovanadium regardless of grade or packaging that may fall within the order
•Vanadium-iron master alloys that may be described as ferrovanadium

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

?Pure vanadium metal that may not be described as an iron alloy
?Vanadium pentoxide or other vanadium chemical compounds that may sit outside this order
?Vanadium-aluminum or other non-iron vanadium master alloys that may be excluded
?Finished steel products already containing vanadium as an alloying element
?Ferrovanadium of a non-Chinese origin, which would be evaluated under its own country's rules

Scope control: Any HTS codes are screening references only; the written scope language issued by Commerce controls whether a product is covered, and unfinished, unassembled, or blended forms may still fall within scope depending on that language.

Who it affects

This typically matters for importers, steelmakers, foundries, and alloy traders bringing in ferrovanadium or vanadium-iron master alloys sourced from or processed in China.

What the duty means

If goods fall within scope, an AD cash deposit is collected 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 entries must be declared. Only an AD order (A-570-873) was provided, so no separate CVD deposit is indicated here.

Importer checklist — how to assess your risk

☐Gather the commercial invoice and confirm the exact product description used.
☐Collect product photos, spec sheets, and mill certificates showing vanadium content and form.
☐Document the material composition to distinguish ferrovanadium from other vanadium products.
☐Identify the intended use, such as steelmaking or alloy addition.
☐Assemble country-of-origin support tracing where the material was produced and processed.
☐Record the manufacturer and exporter names and confirm the specific producer/exporter combination.
☐Determine the tentative HTS classification for screening purposes only.
☐Confirm scope questions with a licensed customs broker or trade counsel rather than relying 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 where Chinese-origin ferrovanadium is routed through third countries.
⚠Scope inquiries that may reclassify a product previously assumed to be outside the order.
⚠Declaring the wrong exporter/producer combination, which can trigger an incorrect (often higher) deposit rate.
⚠Misdeclaration of origin or product type, which can lead to penalties and retroactive duty assessments.

The same product may be subject to separate orders in other countries — related ferrovanadium matters exist for South Korea and South Africa — so each origin should be reviewed on its own facts.

FAQ

Is there antidumping duty on ferrovanadium from China?

There is an antidumping (AD) duty order on ferrovanadium from China under case number A-570-873. Whether your specific goods are covered depends on Commerce's written scope, so importers should verify before entry.

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, so ongoing verification is important.

Are parts or unassembled ferrovanadium covered?

Ferrovanadium in various forms and grades may still be within scope depending on Commerce's written scope language; importers should confirm the specific form and composition against the current scope.

Possible risk

Risk signal: Higher concern if the goods are ferrovanadium of Chinese origin used in steelmaking; a separate review is needed for vanadium chemicals, non-iron master alloys, repackaged material, and third-country processing.

Bottom line: Ferrovanadium from China may be covered by AD case A-570-873; confirm scope, origin, exporter/producer identity, and current cash-deposit rates against Commerce and CBP guidance 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.
