This educational explainer covers the U.S. antidumping (AD) duty order on foundry coke products from China under case number A-570-862. This is an AD order only; no countervailing (CVD) case is listed here. Importers of foundry coke of Chinese origin should 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)

•May include foundry-grade coke used in cupola furnaces for iron and metal casting
•May include large-size metallurgical coke marketed for foundry applications
•May include coke meeting typical foundry specifications for size, ash, and sulfur content
•May include foundry coke imported in bulk or bagged form
•May include foundry coke regardless of packaging or minor processing, depending on scope

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

?Blast furnace coke may commonly fall outside foundry coke scope depending on written specifications
?Petroleum coke (petcoke) is a different product commonly outside this order
?Coke breeze or fines below applicable size specifications may be excluded
?Metallurgical coal or raw coking coal (unprocessed) may be outside scope
?Coke used for non-foundry industrial applications may fall outside, subject to the written scope

Scope control: Any HTS codes are screening references only; Commerce's written scope language controls whether a product is covered, and processed, unfinished, or repackaged coke may still fall within scope depending on that language.

Who it affects

This typically matters for importers, foundries, and metal-casting operations sourcing foundry-grade coke of Chinese origin, or products marketed for cupola/foundry use.

What the duty means

AD duties are collected as 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. Only an AD order is listed here, so no separate CVD deposit is indicated by these facts.

Importer checklist — how to assess your risk

☐Gather the commercial invoice description and match it against the order's written scope terms.
☐Collect product photos, spec sheets, and size/ash/sulfur specifications for the coke.
☐Document material composition and intended foundry versus non-foundry use.
☐Confirm country-of-origin support, including production and processing locations.
☐Identify the exact manufacturer and exporter names on the shipment.
☐Verify the specific producer/exporter combination against current Commerce results.
☐Confirm the HTS classification for screening purposes only, not as a scope decision.
☐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 review results and CBP AD/CVD messages before filing.

Risks to watch

⚠Circumvention or transshipment findings if Chinese coke is routed through third countries.
⚠Scope inquiries that may clarify whether a specific coke product falls within the order.
⚠Using the wrong exporter/producer combination and applying an incorrect deposit rate.
⚠Misdeclaration or misclassification exposing the importer to penalties and retroactive duties.

The same or similar coke products may be subject to trade remedies from multiple origins, so importers should independently review each country of origin without seeking to evade applicable duties.

FAQ

Is there antidumping duty on foundry coke products from China?

There is a U.S. antidumping (AD) duty order associated with foundry coke products from China under case number A-570-862. Whether your specific shipment falls within scope depends on Commerce's written scope language and your product's characteristics, so verification is essential.

Does a 0% deposit rate mean no duty?

No. A 0% cash-deposit rate is not an exemption. The order still applies, the entry must be declared as subject merchandise, and rates can change through administrative reviews.

Are parts or unassembled foundry coke covered?

Coke is generally a bulk material rather than an assembled item, but processed, sized, or repackaged forms may still be covered depending on Commerce's written scope. Verify your specific product before filing.

Possible risk

Risk signal: Higher concern if the goods are foundry-grade coke of Chinese origin; a separate review is needed for blends, non-foundry coke, fines/breeze, repackaged goods, and any third-country processing.

Bottom line: Foundry coke products from China may be covered by AD case A-570-862; confirm the written scope, country of origin, exporter/producer identity, and current cash-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.
