Summary
This bill modifies the procedures for investigating whether imported goods are evading antidumping and countervailing duty orders. It allows the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner to start investigations on their own initiative if they have information suggesting goods have been improperly imported to avoid duties, with the same procedural requirements as when investigations are initiated by complaints. It also requires that importers found to have evaded duties must pay all associated duties, charges, and fees before they can challenge the determination in court.
