The U.S. Department of Commerce maintains an antidumping (AD) duty order, case number A-570-835, on furfuryl alcohol from China. This is an AD order only; no separate countervailing (CVD) case is provided here. Importers of this chemical from China 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)

•Furfuryl alcohol (chemical formula C4H3OCH2OH) as described in the order
•May include furfuryl alcohol that is colorless in appearance
•May include furfuryl alcohol that is pale yellow in appearance
•May include furfuryl alcohol used in the manufacture of resins
•May include furfuryl alcohol used as a wetting agent
•May include furfuryl alcohol used as a solvent for coating resins, nitrocellulose, or cellulose acetate
•May include furfuryl alcohol imported in various commercial container or bulk forms if it meets the written scope

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

?Furfural (furfuraldehyde) is a distinct chemical and may fall outside this specific furfuryl alcohol order
?Downstream furan resins or finished resin products may be outside the scope of raw furfuryl alcohol (verify)
?Other furan-based derivatives that are not furfuryl alcohol may be outside scope
?Products not meeting the written chemical description may be outside scope
?Furfuryl alcohol from countries other than China is not covered by this China-specific order

Scope control: The HTSUS subheading (provided in the order for convenience) is a screening reference only; Commerce's written scope description is dispositive, and derivative, blended, or repackaged forms may still be covered depending on the scope language.

Who it affects

This typically matters for importers, distributors, and manufacturers bringing furfuryl alcohol from China into the U.S., including buyers using it to produce resins, foundry binders, coatings, or as a solvent.

What the duty means

If merchandise falls within scope, a cash deposit is generally required at entry. Rates vary by exporter/producer and by administrative review and can be substantial; a 0% cash-deposit rate is NOT an exemption — the order still applies and entries must be declared. This is an AD order only per the facts given, so only AD deposits would apply.

Importer checklist — how to assess your risk

☐Gather the commercial invoice description and confirm the chemical identity as furfuryl alcohol (C4H3OCH2OH)
☐Collect product spec sheets, certificates of analysis, and photos of labeling and containers
☐Document material composition and confirm whether the product is furfuryl alcohol versus furfural or a derivative
☐Record the intended use (e.g., resin manufacture, wetting agent, solvent) to help assess scope
☐Obtain country-of-origin support and trace the true country of manufacture, not just the shipping point
☐Identify the manufacturer, producer, and exporter names and verify the specific producer/exporter combination
☐Determine the correct HTS classification for screening, understanding the written scope controls
☐Confirm scope questions with a licensed customs broker or trade counsel, and 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 if goods are routed through a third country to disguise Chinese origin
⚠Scope inquiries where Commerce may determine a related or derivative product is covered
⚠Using the wrong exporter/producer combination and applying an incorrect (or the China-wide) deposit rate
⚠Misdeclaration or misclassification exposing the importer to penalties, retroactive duties, and interest

The same chemical may face trade remedies from multiple origins over time, so importers should review each country of origin independently and rely on lawful, accurate origin documentation.

FAQ

Is there antidumping duty on furfuryl alcohol from China?

Yes, Commerce maintains an antidumping duty order on furfuryl alcohol from China under case number A-570-835. Whether your specific shipment is covered depends on Commerce's written scope; 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 remains in effect, the goods must still be declared as subject merchandise, and rates can change through administrative reviews.

Are derivatives or repackaged furfuryl alcohol covered?

They may still be covered depending on Commerce's written scope. Repackaged, diluted, or related products could fall within scope; importers should confirm with a licensed broker or counsel rather than assume exclusion.

Possible risk

Risk signal: Higher concern if the goods are furfuryl alcohol of Chinese origin; a separate review is needed for chemical blends, derivatives such as furfural, repackaged material, and any third-country processing.

Bottom line: Furfuryl alcohol from China may be covered by AD order A-570-835; confirm scope, 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.
