Customs Brokers and Forwarders Association of Northern California (CBFANC) Educational Series – Navigating the ADD/CVD Maze

Join speakers David Jordan of Roanoke Trade and Susan Kohn Ross of Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP, for this informative seminar concerning Antidumping and Countervailing Duty (ADD/CVD) issues hosted by the CBFANC on Wednesday, February 21st from 8am-12pm (PT).

When the Department of Commerce finds that imported merchandise was sold in the U.S. at an unfairly low or subsidized price, to level the playing field for U.S. companies injured by these unfair trade practices, ADD/CVD is imposed. When that happens, CBP is responsible for collecting the ADD/CVD in a timely manner. As a Priority Trade Issue, CBP’s goal is collect the proper amounts, which includes to detect and deter circumvention of the ADD/CVD law, and to liquidate final duties timely and accurately, while at the same time facilitating legitimate trade.

• ADD/CVD Underwriting Concerns – A Brief Refresher
