The U.S. Department of Commerce maintains an antidumping (AD) duty order on large residential washers from China under case number A-570-033. This is an AD order only; importers of qualifying washing machines and certain parts from China should review whether their goods may fall within its 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 automatic clothes washing machines designed for household (residential) use
•May include top-loading residential washing machines above the covered capacity threshold
•May include front-loading residential washing machines within the described specifications
•May include certain cabinets, tubs, baskets, and other components/subassemblies of covered washers, depending on scope
•May include washers imported as complete units or in unassembled/partially assembled form
•May include residential washers regardless of brand where produced in China

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

?Commercial or industrial (non-residential) washing machines may be outside the order
?Clothes dryers imported separately may not be covered
?Combination washer/dryer units may fall outside scope depending on the written description
?Washers below or above specific capacity thresholds set in the scope may be excluded
?Certain parts not specifically identified in the scope may be outside the order
?Products from countries other than China are not covered by this specific case number

Scope control: Any HTS codes are screening references only; Commerce's written scope language controls whether a product is covered, and parts, unfinished, or unassembled washers may still be covered depending on that scope.

Who it affects

This typically matters for importers of household clothes washing machines, and certain washer components or subassemblies, that are produced in or exported from 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. This case is AD only, so no separate CVD deposit arises from this specific case number.

Importer checklist — how to assess your risk

☐Gather the commercial invoice with a full product description of the washing machine
☐Collect product photos, spec sheets, and capacity/loading details
☐Document material composition and configuration (assembled, unassembled, or parts)
☐Confirm the intended use (residential versus commercial/industrial)
☐Obtain country-of-origin support and manufacturing documentation for China
☐Identify the exact manufacturer/producer and exporter names and their 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 washers routed through third countries
⚠Scope inquiries that clarify whether specific washers or parts are covered
⚠Using the wrong exporter/producer combination and applying an incorrect deposit rate
⚠Misdeclaration or failure to declare, which may lead to penalties and retroactive duties

The same product may be subject to trade-remedy orders from more than one country, so each origin should be reviewed on its own facts rather than assumed based on another origin.

FAQ

Is there antidumping duty on large residential washers from China?

The U.S. maintains an antidumping duty order on large residential washers from China under case number A-570-033. Whether your specific goods are covered depends on Commerce's written scope, and 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 reviews, so importers should verify current rates before filing.

Are parts or unassembled large residential washers covered?

Parts, unfinished, or unassembled washers may still be covered depending on Commerce's written scope language. Importers should confirm coverage rather than assume components fall outside the order.

Possible risk

Risk signal: Higher concern if the goods are residential washing machines of Chinese origin; a separate review is needed for commercial units, washer/dryer combinations, individual parts, and any third-country processing.

Bottom line: Large residential washers from China may be covered by AD case A-570-033; 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.
