Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

CBP Gives Update of Recent AD/CV Enforcement Efforts
January 28, 2016 |Customs

CBP outlined its recent enforcement work related to antidumping and countervailing duties in an AD/CVD Update for October (here). Through August, CBP assessed 17 penalties for AD/CVD violations, with a total value of $4.4 million on a wide range of commodities, it said. CBP highlighted a recent discovery from CBP’s Regulatory Audit, which found "a loss of revenue of $36 million during an audit of importers of tapered roller bearings from China," the agency said. "The company failed to declare and pay AD duties on imported taper roller bearings, resulting in $32.4 million in unpaid duties, along with finding significant classification errors resulting in an additional $3.6 million in penalties. CBP is seeking to collect the duties and penalty amount from the importer." CBP also pointed to a recent $84 million lawsuit against Univar over unpaid antidumping duties for saccharine. "Univar USA misrepresented to U.S. Customs and Border Protection that the country of origin was Taiwan and that the entries were ordinary consumption entries, as opposed to entries subject to antidumping duties," the Justice Department said in the lawsuit in the Court of International Trade.. "In fact, that the true country of origin for the merchandise was China and that the merchandise was subject to anti-dumping duties exceeding 329 percent." DOJ also filed a suit against LBS Marketing that seeks to recover $2.8 million in allegedly evaded antidumping duties on crawfish, said CBP.
