The U.S. Department of Commerce maintains both an antidumping duty order (case A-570-097) and a countervailing duty order (case C-570-098) on polyester textured yarn from China. Importers of this yarn or related products should review whether their goods may fall within the scope of these 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 polyester textured yarn used for weaving or knitting fabrics
•May include multifilament polyester yarn that has been textured (crimped, coiled, or bulked)
•May include draw-textured polyester yarn (DTY)
•May include air-textured polyester yarn
•May include polyester textured yarn on cones, tubes, or beams
•May include dyed or undyed textured polyester filament yarn

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

?Flat (untextured) polyester filament yarn may fall outside this order (verify against written scope)
?Polyester staple fiber may typically be outside scope
?Fully drawn yarn (FDY) that is not textured may be outside scope
?Yarns of nylon, rayon, or other non-polyester fibers may be outside scope
?Finished fabrics or garments made from the yarn are generally different merchandise
?Certain specialty or industrial yarns may be excluded depending on the written scope

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

Who it affects

This typically matters for importers, textile mills, and distributors bringing in polyester textured yarn or products containing such yarn that originate in or were processed in China.

What the duty means

AD and CVD cash deposits are collected at entry; rates vary by exporter/producer and administrative review and can be very high. Because both an AD and a CVD order exist, both types of deposits may apply. A 0% deposit rate is NOT an exemption — the order still applies and the entry must be declared.

Importer checklist — how to assess your risk

☐Gather the commercial invoice description and match it to the plain product terms in the scope.
☐Collect product photos and technical spec sheets showing yarn type and construction.
☐Document the material composition, confirming polyester content and texturing.
☐Identify the intended use of the yarn (weaving, knitting, etc.).
☐Obtain country-of-origin support and manufacturing records.
☐Record the manufacturer and exporter names, and confirm the specific producer/exporter combination.
☐Determine the appropriate HTS classification as a screening step only.
☐Confirm potential scope coverage with a licensed customs broker or trade counsel — 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 where goods are routed through third countries to disguise Chinese origin.
⚠Scope inquiries that may clarify whether a specific yarn is covered.
⚠Using the wrong exporter/producer combination, which can lead to an incorrect (often much higher) deposit rate.
⚠Misdeclaration or misclassification that can trigger penalties and retroactive duty assessments.

The same product may be subject to orders in more than one country — polyester textured yarn is also covered by orders involving India — so importers should review each origin independently.

FAQ

Is there antidumping duty on polyester textured yarn from China?

There is an antidumping duty order (case A-570-097) and also a countervailing duty order (case C-570-098) on polyester textured yarn from China. 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, the entry must be declared as subject merchandise, and rates can change through administrative reviews.

Are parts or unassembled polyester textured yarn covered?

Yarn on various packages, and unfinished or partially processed forms, may still be covered depending on Commerce's written scope language; importers should confirm coverage rather than assume exclusion.

Possible risk

Risk signal: Higher concern if the goods are polyester textured yarn of Chinese origin; a separate review is needed for flat yarns, blends, staple fiber, downstream fabrics, and any third-country processing.

Bottom line: Polyester textured yarn from China may be covered by both A-570-097 (AD) and C-570-098 (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.
