The Hidden Tariff That Can Reach Triple Digits
Anti-dumping and countervailing duties are calculated individually for each foreign producer and can range from single digits to several hundred percent. The retrospective nature means liability can change years after importation.
How AD/CVD Duties Work
The Department of Commerce determines dumping/subsidization and calculates rates. The ITC determines injury. Importers make cash deposits at estimated rates; annual administrative reviews determine final duties, which may be higher or lower.
Determining Scope
Hundreds of AD/CVD orders are in effect covering products from steel to chemicals to consumer goods. Scope determinations can be complex. The consequences of importing subject goods without deposits are severe.
Managing AD/CVD Compliance
Monitor administrative reviews. Manage cash deposit obligations. Explore country-of-origin options. Consider requesting individual reviews for lower rates.
