Number of AD/CV Orders Enforced by CBP Continues to Grow
August 5, 2021 |AD/CVD

The growth in the number of antidumping and countervailing duty orders enforced by CBP in recent years appears to be continuing, said Elizabeth Teague, an analyst at CBP, who spoke during a CBP Detroit Trade Week event on Aug. 3. "In Fiscal Year 2020, CBP began to enforce 45 new AD/CVD orders," she said. "So far in 2021, we are outpacing that number and have begun enforcing an additional 83 AD/CVD orders just this year." As of July, there were 625 active AD/CVD orders on 191 products from 59 countries, with China being the most frequently named country of origin, she said. Over half of all the AD/CVD orders involve steel or steel-related products, Teague said.

No Evidence of AD/CV Duty Evasion by Cabinet Importer, CBP Says
August 3, 2021 |AD/CVD

An Enforce and Protect Act investigation into alleged antidumping or countervailing duty evasion by a cabinet importer didn't produce evidence that the evasion was happening, CBP said in a July 21 notice of determination. The investigation involved BGI Group, which does business as U.S. Cabinet Depot and was alleged to have shipped wooden cabinet and vanities (WCV) "subject to the AD/CVD Orders to Cambodian company Cambodia Golden Coast Wood Products Co., Ltd." for "repackaging and exporting the Chinese-origin merchandise to BGI." Based on the information on the record of the investigation, "including the absence of sufficient additional evidence of evasion obtained subsequent to the [notice of investigation], CBP finds that substantial evidence does not exist that BGI entered into the customs territory of the United States WCV manufactured in China that had been transshipped through Cambodia during the period of this EAPA investigation."
