U.S. Government Seeks Comments Regarding Improvement of Administration and Enforcement of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Laws

On August 13, 2020, the U.S. International Trade Commission published in the Federal Register (85 FR 49472) Regulations To Improve Administration and Enforcement of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Laws.

According to the notice the purpose of the regulatory changes proposed in this rulemaking is to strengthen the administration and enforcement of AD/CVD laws, make such administration and enforcement more efficient, and create new enforcement tools for Commerce to address circumvention and evasion of trade remedies. If adopted, these changes would equip Commerce to better fulfill the Congressional intent behind the AD/CVD laws—namely, to protect U.S. companies, workers, farmers, and ranchers from the injurious effects of unfairly traded imports. In addition, if adopted, these changes would promote the Administration's objective to enforce the AD/CVD laws rigorously, and to aggressively pursue parties that seek to skirt them. Moreover, the proposed regulations facilitate a stronger and more efficient administration of the AD and CVD laws in the context of Commerce's proceedings. To be assured of consideration, written comments must be received no later than September 14, 2020.
