Antidumping and Countervailing Duties (AD/CVD)
Antidumping and Countervailing Duties (AD/CVD) are taxes levied on imported merchandise sold in the U.S. at artificially low or subsidized prices, to level the playing field for U.S. companies. Antidumping Duties result from a foreign industry selling its products at lower than the cost of manufacturing to gain a competitive edge. Countervailing Duties result from subsidies from a foreign government to specific industries or products to gain a competitive advantage abroad. A U.S. company may petition the ITC and Commerce Department to determine whether the goods subject to the petition were sold for less than fair value or benefited from unfair subsidization. If Commerce and the ITC find evidence of subsidization/dumping which has caused injury to a domestic industry, they will direct CBP to suspend liquidation of incoming entries and begin collecting AD/CVD on those entries.

A domestic producer coalition filed petitions last week with the Commerce Department and the International Trade Commission requesting new antidumping duties on paper file folders from Cambodia and Sri Lanka, as well as countervailing duties on paper file folders from Cambodia. Commerce will now decide whether to begin AD/CVD investigations, which could result in the imposition of permanent AD/CVD orders and the assessment of AD and CVD on importers.
The Commerce Department is beginning new antidumping duty investigations on hexamethylenetetramine (hexamine) from China, Germany, India and Saudi Arabia, as well as countervailing duty investigations on the same product from China and India, it said in a fact sheet Oct. 22. The underlying petition was filed in September (see 2410010045). The International Trade Commission is scheduled to make its preliminary injury determinations by Nov. 14. These AD/CVD investigations will continue only if the ITC finds injury. International Trade Today will provide more details upon publication of the initiation notices in the Federal Register.
Importers of wooden cabinets and vanities from Malaysia and Vietnam that want to file a certification to avoid antidumping and countervailing duties don’t need to file a post-summary correction to do so, the Commerce Department said in a correction to a notice issued in July. Instead, importers should upload such certifications to CBP’s Document Image System (DIS), it said in a notice released Oct. 22.
