The product covered by this investigation is urea, a high-nitrogen content fertilizer which is produced by reacting ammonia with carbon dioxide. The product is currently classified under the Tariff Schedules of the United States Annotated (TSUSA) item 480.3000.

Petitioner has requested that in order to avoid possible circumvention of an eventual antidumping duty order we include in the scope of the investigation nitrogen solutions currently classified under TSUSA item 480.6550, as well as solid urea mixed with other fertilizers as currently classified under TSUSA item 480.8030. Merchandise classified under these two items will be subject to the investigation only if the predominant component is urea.
