Anti-Dumping Duty/Countervailing Duty Entry
Overview
The Antidumping and Countervailing Duty (ADD/CVD) program helps U.S.
companies compete with foreign industry.
Antidumping and Countervailing Laws
U.S. law counters international price discrimination that results in injury
to our industry, commonly referred to as dumping. Dumping occurs
when a foreign firm sells merchandise in the U.S. market at a price
lower than the price it charges for a comparable product sold in its
home market.
The CVD law provides authority for investigations of foreign
governments that may be unfairly subsidizing their industries that
export to the U.S.
Tip: The key to entering this type of entry through the Kewill Customs
Shipment Processing application is to use a valid ADD/CVD Entry Type (03,
