Anti-dumping, countervailing and safeguard duties
How trade-remedy duties work, why they depend on the producer and the product scope rather than the tariff code alone, and why LandedGrid asks instead of assuming zero.
Updated 2026-09-22
Trade-remedy duties can be larger than the ordinary tariff — rates above 50% are common. They are imposed by an investigating authority on specific products from specific countries, often with different rates for named producers or exporters and an “all others” rate for the rest.
Scope is defined by words, not codes
An order lists tariff codes for reference, but its scope is the written product description. Goods under a listed code can be outside scope (wrong dimensions, alloy, coating or use), and goods under an unlisted code can be inside it. Circumvention rules extend orders to goods shipped through third countries or slightly altered.
Why LandedGrid asks
When a code and origin fall within an order, the honest answer depends on facts LandedGrid does not have: who made the goods, who exported them, and whether the physical product is within scope. Returning “$0 anti-dumping” would be the single most expensive mistake a calculator can make. Instead the line reads “unresolved” until you answer, and the total waits.
Where the orders are published
- United States — Department of Commerce (ACCESS) and CBP; no official machine-readable list exists, so LandedGrid cannot yet detect US orders automatically.
- United Kingdom and European Union — measures with additional codes are published in the tariff itself and are ingested.
- Australia — Anti-Dumping Commission’s Dumping Commodity Register; not in the ICS files LandedGrid ingests.
- New Zealand — MBIE. Japan — Ministry of Finance. Korea — Korea Trade Commission. India — DGTR. Türkiye — Ministry of Trade.
