Yes. Certain steel spring products—including garage door springs and some automotive spring types—have been subject to antidumping duty orders from the Department of Commerce. Importers should check the current scope of active antidumping and countervailing duty orders with the International Trade Administration to determine whether their specific spring product and country of origin are covered.

Key specification factors include the spring's form (coil, leaf, torsion, flat), the base metal composition (carbon steel vs. alloy steel), and the intended application. Springs for specific end uses—such as clock or watch springs, or springs integrated into finished goods—may be more specifically classified elsewhere. Providing detailed technical drawings and material certifications to a customs broker helps ensure accurate classification and avoids post-entry reclassification risk.
