The products covered by the Order are cement and cement clinker from Japan. Cement is a hydraulic cement and the primary component of concrete. Cement clinker, an intermediate material produced when manufacturing cement, has no use other than grinding into finished cement. Microfine cement was specifically excluded from the Order. Cement is currently classifiable under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) subheading 2523.29 and cement clinker is currently classifiable under HTS subheading 2523.10. Cement has also been entered under HTS subheading 2523.90 as ``other hydraulic cements.'' The HTS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes. The written product description remains dispositive as to the scope of the product covered by the Order. Commerce has made two scope rulings regarding subject merchandise. See Scope Rulings, 57 FR 19602 (May 7, 1992) (classes G and H of oil well cement are within the scope of the Order); see also Scope Rulings, 58 FR 27542 (May 10, 1993) (``Nittetsu Super Fine'' cement is not within the scope of the Order).

Deposit rates can change every review cycle, so confirm the latest Federal Register notice before you quote a figure to your customs broker.
These HTS headings are recorded in the case linkage: 2523.10.00, 2523.29.00, 2523.90.00. Confirm the exact ten-digit code against the published scope language, because product descriptions rather than codes alone define the legal boundary of the order, and scope rulings occasionally widen or narrow which lines inherit the deposit obligation.
