## Provisions PRIA read

- New importer certifications and bonds: cost, medium. If enacted, importers could be required to certify at entry that the goods and their inputs are not part of an AD/CVD case. Missing or false statements would trigger suspended liquidation, cash deposits equal to the duty, and possible civil or criminal penalties. Nonresident importers would need U.…
- Broader evasion rules and tighter protests: mixed, medium. If enacted, evasion rules would also cover safeguard actions, and agencies could request information from people reasonably suspected of evasion. Confidential business‑information protections would apply in evasion cases, with some deadlines set to 14 or 30 days, and these protections would take ef…
- Commerce decides product coverage: mixed, medium. If enacted, Commerce could decide if imports are covered by an AD/CVD case using any reasonable method. Commerce would not have to follow Customs’ tariff or origin rulings. It could weigh physical traits, intended use, value added in third countries, investment and processing, and whether key parts…
- Faster timelines for trade cases: mixed, medium. If enacted, follow-up antidumping and subsidy cases would move faster. For countervailing duties, a preliminary decision would be due in 85 days and the final 75 days after that; deadlines could be extended only if the petitioner asks. For antidumping, the preliminary decision would be due in 140 d…
- New dumping cost and value methods: mixed, medium. If enacted, Commerce could revalue major inputs bought from certain unaffiliated suppliers, like nonmarket‑economy firms or governments, when a constructed cost is higher than the recorded cost. If a particular market situation makes costs unreliable, Commerce could use another method and would app…
- Broader subsidy rules, including currency: mixed, medium. If enacted, investigators could treat some subsidies from a third country as if the subject country provided them when that government helped make the subsidy happen, and add those subsidies together. Upstream rules would reach multinational firms that buy inputs from cross‑owned suppliers in a thi…
- Rules also apply to USMCA trade: mixed, low. If enacted, these trade‑law changes would also apply to goods from Canada and Mexico under the USMCA implementation law.
