How it works
From an HTS code to a cited duty rate in one step
Antidumping (AD) and countervailing (CVD) duties are extra duties the U.S. imposes on specific products from specific countries to offset unfair pricing or foreign subsidies. They are assessed on top of normal tariffs, often run from double to triple digits, and are owed by the importer of record. The Exposure Screener tells you whether your import is exposed — before the shipment lands.
Enter what you import
An HTS code (e.g. 7208.10.1500) or a product description, plus the country of origin. Add your supplier or exporter for a more precise answer — it's optional.
We match it to active orders
ImportSentry checks your product and origin against the active antidumping and countervailing duty universe and finds every order that may cover it — including cases where the same HTS and origin appear in more than one order.
You get the rate and the source
For each order: the exporter-specific or all-others rate, the case number, whether it's a final or preliminary result, the effective date, and a link to the primary Federal Register record. Then verify with your broker.
What ImportSentry covers today
We launch with the verticals our data engine reliably and accurately covers — steel, aluminum, solar, and plastics — and expand weekly. We scope coverage honestly: a product outside current coverage returns “not found,” never a false all-clear. Rates the engine cannot extract with high confidence are withheld rather than shown, because a wrong duty answer is a real liability.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Exposure Screener free?
Yes. The screener is free and needs no login. You only share an email if you ask us to monitor a product for coverage changes.
Where do the rates come from?
Every rate traces to a primary U.S. Federal Register record — the official notices in which the Department of Commerce publishes antidumping and countervailing duty determinations. Each result links to the exact document so you or your broker can read the source.
What is the difference between an exporter-specific rate and an all-others rate?
In an AD/CVD order, Commerce assigns individually-investigated exporters their own rate. Suppliers that were not separately investigated are assessed a fallback — the all-others rate, a separate rate, or a country-wide entity rate, depending on the case. If you enter your supplier, the screener returns the exporter-specific rate when it matches a named exporter; otherwise it shows the applicable fallback.
Does a 'not found' result mean my import is duty-free?
No. A 'not found' result only means the HTS code and origin are not in our current coverage. It is not a determination that no order applies. Always confirm scope with your licensed customs broker.
Can I rely on this for my customs entry?
Treat it as decision-support, not legal advice. AD/CVD scope and the operative cash-deposit rate at entry depend on facts we cannot see and must be confirmed with your licensed customs broker or trade counsel before you rely on them.
