Overview:

The enforcement and compliance landscapes for antidumping and countervailing duties continue to heighten as the number of cases and petitions filed against foreign importers continues to grow. Key issues include the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) increased number of requests for information and notice of actions to foreign importers, the potential expansion of Enforce and Protect Act (EAPA) authority to deter AD/CVD evasion as well as other foreign trade concerns.

With these and other anticipated changes under the Biden administration, it becomes more important for businesses and their counsel to keep pace with the trends and developments in antidumping and countervailing duties. Structuring an advanced compliance program and realigning their practices with the current AD/CVD due diligence practices can be effective in avoiding unintended missteps and ensuring sound compliance.

Join international trade and customs law expert John Peterson (Neville Peterson LLP) as he provides a thorough discussion of today’s AD/CVD compliance issues. He will guide you through the current trends, developments, and legal challenges. John will also offer up best practices in managing compliance risks.

Some of the major topics that will be covered in this course are:

  • AD/CVD Trends and Developments
  • Anticipated Legislative and Regulatory Changes Under Biden
  • Red Flags and Other Challenges
  • Practical Compliance Tips and Strategies
  • Outlook

Agenda:

John Peterson, Partner

Neville Peterson LLP

  • There is an ever-growing number of antidumping and countervailing duty orders in effect. Before importing, companies need to review orders in effect, and particularly the scope language in these orders.
  • Increasingly, foreign manufacturers and exporters are unwilling to comply with onerous Commerce Department demands for information. As a result, in about half of all cases, instead of imposing dumping or countervailing duties based on a measurement of producers' data, Commerce issues margins' based on "Adverse Facts Available" (AFA).
  • AFA rates often measure several hundred percent of the value of an imported good. They can be ruinous to the unwary importer. The trend to high rates accelerated after a 2015 change to the law which said that, in determining AFA rates, Commerce no longer had to try to measure the "commercial reality" of the foreign producer or exporter.
  • If a company continues to import goods in the face of an AD/CVD order, it is in many ways at the mercy of its supplier's deciding to continue cooperating with the Commerce Department in annual review of the order.
  • The US is almost unique in having a "retrospective" system for determining antidumping and countervailing duties. This means that an importer may not know its ultimate AD/CVD liability for years after entry is made. Increasingly, the US is being accused of "antidumping abuse".
  • Dirty Little Secret: The government does very little to collect unpaid AD/CVD duties. There is a multi-billion dollar pool of such uncollected duties. Why the government does not pursue collection more aggressively is unclear, but may be related to the optics of driving many small companies into bankruptcy.
