Pure magnesium from China may fall within the scope of the U.S. antidumping (AD) duty order under case number A-570-832. This is an AD order only; no countervailing (CVD) case is indicated here. Importers should verify scope, origin, and current cash-deposit rates 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)

•Primary pure magnesium metal that may meet the order's purity thresholds
•Magnesium ingots that may qualify as pure magnesium under the scope
•Magnesium slabs or billets of pure magnesium form
•Magnesium that may be sold as commercially pure primary metal
•Pure magnesium in raw unwrought forms depending on scope language
•Magnesium meeting minimum magnesium-content specifications described in the order

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

?Magnesium alloys blended with other metals, which are typically addressed differently
?Secondary or recycled magnesium of certain grades, depending on scope
?Granular or powdered magnesium subject to separate consideration
?Magnesium in downstream fabricated or finished products
?Off-specification or lower-purity material that may fall outside 'pure' magnesium definitions

Scope control: HTS codes are screening references only; Commerce's written scope language controls whether a product is covered, and certain raw, unwrought, or intermediate forms may still be covered depending on that scope.

Who it affects

This typically matters for importers, distributors, and manufacturers bringing in primary or pure magnesium metal of Chinese origin, or products that may contain such magnesium in a covered form.

What the duty means

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 AD applies here based on the case provided.

Importer checklist — how to assess your risk

☐Gather the commercial invoice with the full product description and grade
☐Collect product photos and technical spec sheets showing magnesium content and form
☐Confirm the material composition, including magnesium purity percentage and any alloying elements
☐Document the intended use and physical form (ingot, slab, granule, etc.)
☐Obtain country-of-origin support tracing where the magnesium was produced
☐Identify the manufacturer and exporter names and verify the specific producer/exporter combination
☐Review the HTS classification as a screening reference only
☐Confirm scope applicability 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 review results and CBP AD/CVD messages before filing

Risks to watch

⚠Possible circumvention or transshipment findings if goods are routed through third countries
⚠Scope inquiries that could bring borderline products within the order
⚠Applying the wrong exporter/producer combination and thus the wrong deposit rate
⚠Misdeclaration exposing the importer to penalties and retroactive duties

The same product may be subject to separate AD or CVD orders from other countries, so importers should review each country of origin on its own merits without engaging in evasion.

FAQ

Is there antidumping duty on pure magnesium from China?

There is a U.S. antidumping (AD) duty order associated with case number A-570-832 that may cover pure magnesium from China. Whether specific goods fall within scope depends on Commerce's written scope language and should be verified.

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.

Are parts or unassembled pure magnesium covered?

Raw, unwrought, or intermediate forms may still be covered depending on Commerce's scope. Importers should verify the specific form against the written scope language.

Possible risk

Risk signal: Higher concern if the goods are pure or primary magnesium metal of Chinese origin; separate review is needed for alloys, blends, powders, secondary material, and any third-country processing. This does not state the goods are covered.

Bottom line: Pure magnesium from China may be covered by AD case A-570-832; 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.
