Antidumping & Countervailing Duty (AD/CVD) Orders

What are Antidumping and Countervailing duty (AD/CVD) orders?

In the complex world of international trade, countries often face significant challenges in balancing domestic economic interests with the advantages of global commerce.  To ensure fair trading practices, various trade policies and regulations play a crucial role, among which are Antidumping and Countervailing duty (AD/CVD) orders.

​

The U.S. government imposes AD orders on certain imports that are priced below the fair market value of similar goods in the domestic market.  The purpose of these tariffs is to protect local businesses from “dumping,” which occurs when foreign companies sell goods at an artificially low price, leading to unfair competition.

​

Similar to AD orders, CVD orders are intended to shield domestic industries from unfair foreign competition.  Countervailing duties specifically address the issue of unfair subsidies provided by foreign governments, which reduce the cost of imported goods and distort market competition.

 

How do AD/CVD orders impact businesses?

AD/CVD orders significantly influence the global trade landscape.  The U.S. government uses these tariffs to combat unfair trade practices, promote fair competition, create job opportunities, and ensure that domestic businesses remain competitive in the global market.
