Broadcast Date: Thursday, July 23, 2020
from 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm (ET)
Overview:
There has been an upsurge in antidumping (AD) and countervailing duties (CVD) petitions in recent years. Commerce Department and International Trade Commission practice has evolved with this increase in the caseload. Not only can these duties be very significant, but some of these new developments make it harder for foreign manufacturers and U.S. importers to assess potential AD and CVD risk. Foreign exporters and U.S. importers must keep up with these developments to minimize their risk. On the flip side, U.S. producers and labor unions can benefit from a deeper understanding of U.S. Government efforts to enforce AD/CVD laws.
In this LIVE Webcast, international trade lawyers Lynn Kamarck (Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP) and Jay C. Campbell (White & Case LLP) will provide the audience with a comprehensive discussion of the emerging and current trends, developments, and critical issues surrounding AD and CVD duties. Speakers will also offer risk mitigation techniques and best practices to ensure compliance in this evolving legal climate.
Some of the major topics that will be covered in this course are:
- Trends and updates in Commerce Department AD and CVD determinations
- Trends and updates in International Trade Commission injury decisions
- Customs AD/CVD issues
- Common Risks and Pitfalls
- Best Compliance Strategies

Agenda:
Lynn Kamarck, Counsel Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP
- Increased willingness to find that governments have made “indirect” financial contributions in CVD cases, including through the imposition of export restrictions
- Commerce interpretations that increase the likelihood of finding that a subsidy meets the “specificity” requirement, including with respect to tax programs and in the new currency manipulation regulations
- Increased use of the Particular Market Situation provision to disregard a company’s actual prices and costs and increase the likelihood of finding AD margins
Jay C. Campbell, Partner White & Case LLP
- Brief overview of US AD and CVD investigations and the roles played by the US Department of Commerce (DOC), US International Trade Commission (ITC), and US Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
- For AD/CVD orders to be imposed, the ITC must find that the subject imports materially injure, or threaten to materially injure, the US industry. We will explore what lessons can be drawn from recent ITC decisions.
- CBP is responsible for collecting cash deposits and duties required for imports subject to AD/CVD orders. We will review recent developments in CBP enforcement and compliance, including CBP investigations under the Enforce & Protect Act.
