Scope Rulings Could Change Duties
If you are a company that imports goods, the Department of Commerce received requests to check whether certain products are covered by antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders. Commerce is notifying the public of these scope ruling filings in March 2025. These scope inquiries and rulings determine whether identified products fall inside or outside AD/CVD orders and therefore could affect whether your products are subject to those duties, which in turn could affect costs and sales.
