Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Duties Compliance Program
Should I Consider This Program?
Anti-dumping duty is assessed when it is determined that a product is being imported at prices that are lower than comparable products in the country of export. When this occurs, the Customs Administration, based on a number of factors, will impose additional duties from 50% to over 300% in order to protect domestic producers.
These additional duties will significantly impact your landed costs, and could eliminate the majority of your profit margin on these goods.
As a result, to protect your revenue and comply with government anti-dumping decisions, it is critical to have a program that:
- Regularly monitors the products & suppliers under investigation by a Customs Administration
- Identifies the Vendors in your Supply Chain where an anti-dumping decision has been rendered, in an effort to mitigate the additional duties you will be required to pay
How the Program Works - Phase 1: Review & Analyze Past Import Declarations
Phase 1 of our Anti-dumping and Countervailing Duties Program focuses on your past importations, while Phase 2 focuses on your current importations.
In Phase 1, our team will review your import history to identify shipments with products that might be subject to an open anti-dumping investigation, or ongoing measures in force. For those products identified, we will review and determine whether the goods are within the defined scope of the measures in force.
During this phase of our program, we will also confirm the following:
- If your goods are covered by any defined exclusions
- If normal values have been established for the supplier of your product
- If the anti-dumping and/or countervailing duties are applicable to your product
- Where you paid countervailing duties, confirm that the correct amount was paid
How the Program Works - Phase 2: Quarterly Review of Ongoing Import Declarations
In Phase 2, each quarter, our team will perform a review of your new import records. At the conclusion of the review, you will receive a "Quarterly Anti-dumping Assessment Report". This report will detail the following:
For new products
- Confirmation whether the goods imported are within the scope of an anti-dumping investigation
- If the goods are covered by a defined exclusion
- Verify if normal values have been established for the supplier of your product
- Determine if anti-dumping and/or countervailing duties are applicable
For new investigations initiated by a government
- Assist you with completing any anti-dumping questionnaires issued as part of the investigation
- Determine if any goods imported could be within the scope of the investigation
- If goods are found to be within the scope of an investigation, determine the applicability of provisional duties and/or assessments
Reporting and Visibility
For both phases of this program, our interactive and customizable reporting provides you with full visibility and transparency to monitor our progress in real time. Enabling you with the ability to provide us feedback, or ask us any questions, when it is convenient for you.
You can stay focused on your day-to-day activities while monitoring the progress of our work, on your schedule.
The Dominion Commitment
We will be transparent. You will be assigned a dedicated Manager from our Compliance Programs Department who will be your primary point of contact for your team, and manage your Anti-dumping and Countervailing Duties Compliance Program.
Our team will implement both phases at the same time, to ensure that you receive the maximum results from this program, and to minimize any potential risks to your operation.
