Five-Year Trade Duty Reviews Start
If your business imports goods, the U.S. Department of Commerce has started automatic five-year reviews (called Sunset Reviews) under the Tariff Act of 1930 of antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders and suspended investigations. These reviews check whether those import duties should stay in place or be removed and could change trade costs or timing for affected imports.
