CBP Processed All Outstanding CDSOA Imports
CBP said it has processed all "outstanding imports" subject to the Continuing Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000. The Nov. 1 announcement said the agency "disbursed" $3.6 billion in antidumping and countervailing duties to "affected domestic producers injured by foreign dumping and subsidies."

CDSOA, known as the Byrd Amendment, requires that revenues from AD/CVD assessed on or after Oct. 1, 2000, be distributed on an annual basis to the affected domestic producers for specified qualifying expenditures (see 2305300029). Congress repealed the Byrd Amendment in 2005 but allowed all duties on entries of goods made and filed before Oct. 1, 2007, to continue to be distributed.
CBP in May said it intended to distribute the remaining AD/CVD for CSDOA during fiscal year 2023. The agency said it processed the final 4,900 imports subject to CDSOA after "receiving the final instructions" on the relevant AD/CVD cases from the Commerce Department.
The distribution process for these duties as well as for "amounts held pending litigation and duties subject to ongoing collection efforts" will "continue for an undetermined period" of time, after which CBP's implementation of CDSOA will conclude, the agency said.
