The number of investigations under the Enforce and Protect Act almost doubled in fiscal year 2018, CBP said in its annual report, and the agency was able to issue final determinations for 12 investigations that year; in fiscal year 2017, it finished only one. To conduct EAPA investigations, CBP has traveled to Thailand, Vietnam, China, Malaysia, Cambodia and the Philippines. During the year, it took interim measures in six ongoing EAPA investigations to collect antidumping and countervailing duties. The entire EAPA program prevented the evasion of $50 million in AD/CVD duties during the year, the agency said.
