One-time payments for past CDSOA recipients
If enacted, businesses that previously received at least one payment under the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA) would be eligible for a one-time payment of interest. Customs would add up interest by antidumping or countervailing duty order and split payments pro rata to eligible recipients. To get a payment, recipients would need to timely file a certification set by Customs and meet CDSOA eligibility rules at the time of filing. Interest earned on or after October 1, 2010 would be paid as soon as possible but no later than 210 days after enactment. Interest from October 1, 2000 through September 30, 2010 would be paid after that and no later than 210 days after the first payments. Payments would be funded from the Treasury "Refund of Moneys Erroneously Received and Covered" account.
