Trends In Unfair Import Competition

In this article, the authors explain the legal mechanisms available to U.S. manufacturers to combat unfair import competition. They pay particular attention to petitions and investigations before the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission for antidumping and countervailing duties and circumvention inquiries. In addition, the authors explain the tools administered by U.S. Customs and Border Protection to address circumvention and duty evasion and they examine recent trends in the use of these mechanisms.
