Antidumping and countervailing duty — petitions, reviews, scope rulings.
Antidumping duties (AD) address foreign goods sold in the U.S. at less than fair value. Countervailing duties (CVD) address foreign goods that received actionable subsidies. Both are administered jointly by Commerce / International Trade Administration (ITA) and the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC), governed by Title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930. TariffSignals monitors new petitions, preliminary and final determinations, administrative reviews, scope rulings, anti-circumvention inquiries, and sunset reviews — across thousands of product/country pairs.
Importers in covered productsSteel, aluminum, chemicals, glass, paper, lumber, honey, shrimp, solar cells/modules, batteries, and many narrow product lines have active orders.

Frequently asked questions
AD/CVD — quick answers.
What is the difference between antidumping and countervailing duty?
Antidumping (AD) addresses foreign goods sold in the U.S. at less than fair value — below home-market price or cost of production. Countervailing (CVD) addresses foreign goods that received actionable government subsidies. Many cases involve both, known as AD/CVD.
Who can file an AD/CVD petition?
Domestic producers of the like product, often through their counsel and industry association. The petition must demonstrate injury and pricing or subsidy evidence. Commerce determines the dumping or subsidy margin; the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) determines material injury.
What is an administrative review?
An annual proceeding by Commerce / International Trade Administration to determine the actual dumping or subsidy margin for the prior period. Cash deposit rates are updated based on the review's findings. Importers, foreign producers, and domestic petitioners can request reviews during the annual window.
What is a scope ruling?
A Commerce determination of whether a specific product falls within the scope of an existing AD/CVD order. Scope rulings affect cash deposit obligations and entry classification, and are often the deciding factor in whether an import is subject to duties.
What is a sunset review?
A five-year statutory review by Commerce and USITC to decide whether an AD/CVD order should be revoked. The review evaluates whether revocation would likely lead to continued or recurring dumping or subsidization and material injury.
