China-origin air compressors: U.S. import review worksheet
Internal working aid, not an official filing form or shipment-clearance conclusion. Sources reviewed 4 October 2026: FR Doc. 2026-20165 (91 FR 62474–62477, including Appendix I), ITA preliminary fact sheet and Incoterms guide. Save each revision separately.
Use one copy per order/configuration. The importer or broker coordinates; supplier technical staff supply specifications, procurement supplies entity records, and the quote owner supplies agreed costs. Fill missing data as unknown + missing evidence + owner + next action, not zero. Not applicable requires a reason and evidence. An actual zero requires support. Do not check boxes without records. Download/copy this blank file and complete it privately; this page has no form for submitting shipment details.

A. Goods versus Appendix I — supplier technical evidence, reviewed by qualified parties
| Field | Actual goods/value/unit | Document revision/paragraph | Confirmed or unknown/missing evidence owner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name/model/configuration/origin support | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| Reciprocating/piston, rotary or dynamic principle and design evidence | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| Electric/gasoline-engine/battery power; pump/lubrication/direct or belt drive | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| Integrated pressure vessel and capacity (1–80 gallons condition) | [ ] | Appendix I, p. 62476 | [ ] |
| Power and units (373 W–22.37 kW / 0.5–30 HP condition) | [ ] | Appendix I, p. 62476 | [ ] |
| All applicable scope conditions compared together | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| Finished/unfinished condition and remaining operations | [ ] | Appendix I, pp. 62476–62477 | [ ] |
| Third-country processing/additional parts/BOM, if relevant | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| Accessories packaged with compressor or separately imported | [ ] | Appendix I, p. 62477 | [ ] |
| Inflator exclusion: power, no integrated tank/reservoir AND output ≤1 CFM | [ ] | Appendix I, p. 62477; specifications | [ ] |
| Rotary/dynamic exclusion claim and actual principle | [ ] | Appendix I, p. 62477 | [ ] |
| HTSUS reference (written description controls) | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| Unresolved scope question | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
A power/capacity match alone does not establish inclusion. Oil-free or over 15 HP alone does not establish exclusion. A claim lacking evidence remains unknown.
B. Entity chain — procurement records, importer review
| Role | Complete legal name and support for this order | Individual rate assigned in this preliminary determination / evidence or unknown | Review/missing evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Actual producer | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| Exporter | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| Invoice issuer | [ ] | Does not replace actual producer/exporter | [ ] |
| U.S. importer | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
Only after both entities are checked: [both assigned different individual rates in this preliminary determination → higher / both assigned the same individual rate → that rate / producer only assigned an individual rate in this preliminary determination → producer's rate / exporter only assigned an individual rate in this preliminary determination → exporter's rate / neither → All Others / identity or assignment unknown / other with evidence].
- Selected treatment and notice basis: [ ]
- Notice rate/current CBP message matching: [ ]
- Outstanding identity/name issues: [ ]
No entry-specific 3.84% or 112.29% is prefilled. Failure to find an abbreviation does not establish All Others.
C. Stage, instructions and entry date — importer/broker/trade reviewer
| Item | CVD | AD |
|---|---|---|
| Public case number | C-570-233 | A-570-232 |
| Entry-specific stage/document revision | [ ] | [ ] |
| Published notice | FR Doc. 2026-20165 | [ ] |
| Publication/applicability (not this entry's date) | 1 October 2026 | [ ] |
| CBP message/retrieval date/amendments/date conditions | [ ] | [ ] |
| Actual or planned entry for consumption, or withdrawal from warehouse for consumption; supporting records | [ ] | [ ] |
| Treatment/basis/support/unresolved item | [ ] | [ ] |
Current CVD plan: issuance no later than 10 February 2027 per notice; expected public announcement 11 February per ITA; either may be postponed. These are distinct actions, not entry dates or new deposit start dates.
D. Incoterm, named place and cost allocation — quote owner and agreed terms
- Incoterm: [ ]; rules edition: [ ]
- Named place/port, stated fully: [ ]
- Agreed allocation clause and quotation/contract revision: [ ]
| Cost item | Included/excluded/unconfirmed | Responsible party | Basis/value/currency | Evidence/reviewer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Goods, actual quantity and quote revision | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| Transport and insurance | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| U.S. customs clearance and related charges | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| CVD cash-deposit item | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| AD item | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| Other taxes/charges and coverage | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| Estimated landed cost / included charges / unresolved items / estimate date | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
CIF alone does not confirm every cost. Missing AD information is unknown, not zero. A preliminary deposit is not the final duty owed. No hypothetical comparison is a quotation input.
E. Written-review coverage — recipient registers, reviewer confirms
| Required item | Record |
|---|---|
| Opinion/file identifier, date, revision, location | [ ] |
| Issuer and review responsibility | [ ] |
| Goods/model/configuration covered | [ ] |
| Producer/exporter/importer covered | [ ] |
| Dates/entry conditions covered | [ ] |
| Notices/instructions and revisions relied on | [ ] |
| Costs, bases and treatments covered | [ ] |
| Excluded matters/reservations/missing evidence | [ ] |
| Next review trigger | [ ] |
Receipt of a written review does not mean that all entry issues are resolved or that CBP has released the goods. No default pass state is supplied.
F. Missing evidence and review triggers
| Missing evidence/change | Owner | Deadline | Current obstacle | Action once evidence arrives |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
