Administrative Review Video Transcript

An anti-dumping and/or countervailing duty investigation was affirmative, and an order to collect duties is now in place to level the playing field for domestic manufacturers against the unfairly traded imports. Now that estimated duties are being collected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), What happens next?

US law allows interested parties an opportunity to request a review of the duty rates each year, a process known as an administrative review. An administrative review ensures that duty rates accurately reflect the amount of dumping and unfair subsidization.

But how does the administrative review process work? Any interested party can request an administrative review on certain entries. This includes the petitioner, a U.S. producer, an importer, an exporter or foreign producer, or it could even be a representative of a foreign government.

Interested parties can request this review only once a year during the anniversary month of the original AD/CVD order. For example, if the order went into effect in January, interested parties will have to wait until the next January before they can request an administrative review. And if they don’t request a review during the anniversary month, then the current rate will stay in place, and they will have to wait a year before they can submit a request.

During the administrative review, Commerce uses the real import data from the previous year to calculate the rates for the next year. Using the data from the previous year ensures that the duty rates are accurate, specific and not speculative. The newly calculated rates go into effect only after the final determination is made. It generally takes 12 - 18 months to complete an administrative review. If no request for an administrative review is made, then the rates remain unchanged.

Administrative reviews help to ensure that duty rates reflect reality and ensure a level playing field. If you have any questions on administrative reviews, please email ECCommunications@trade.gov.

Global Business Navigator Chatbot ^Beta

Welcome to the Global Business Navigator, an artificial intelligence (AI) Chatbot from the International Trade Administration (ITA). This tool, currently in beta version testing, is designed to provide general information on the exporting process and the resources available to assist new and experienced U.S. exporters. The Chatbot, developed using Microsoft’s Azure AI services, is trained on ITA’s export-related content and aims to quickly get users the information they need. The Chatbot is intended to make the benefits of exporting more accessible by understanding non-expert language, idiomatic expressions, and foreign languages.

Limitations

As a beta product, the Chatbot is currently being tested and its responses may occasionally produce inaccurate or incomplete information. The Chatbot is trained to decline out of scope or inappropriate requests. The Chatbot’s knowledge is limited to the public information on the Export Solutions web pages of Trade.gov, which covers a wide range of topics on exporting. While it cannot provide responses specific to a company’s product or a specific foreign market, its reference pages will guide you to other relevant government resources and market research. Always double-check the Chatbot’s responses using the provided references or by visiting the Export Solutions web pages on Trade.gov. Do not use its responses as legal or professional advice. Inaccurate advice from the Chatbot would not be a defense to violating any export rules or regulations.

Privacy

The Chatbot does not collect information about users and does not use the contents of users’ chat history to learn new information. All feedback is anonymous. Please do not enter personally identifiable information (PII), sensitive, or proprietary information into the Chatbot. Your conversations will not be connected to other interactions or accounts with ITA. Conversations with the Chatbot may be reviewed to help ITA improve the tool and address harmful, illegal, or otherwise inappropriate questions.

Translation

The Chatbot supports a wide range of languages. Because the Chatbot is trained in English and responses are translated, you should verify the translation. For example, the Chatbot may have difficulty with acronyms, abbreviations, and nuances in a language other than English.
