View Rule

Enforcement and Compliance (E&C), of the International Trade Administration at the Department of Commerce (Commerce), administers the antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) trade remedy laws of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).  Commerce is seeking public comment as it considers codification and revision of certain policies and procedures.  First, Commerce is considering codifying and potentially revising its current policy of assessing entries of subject merchandise exported by unaffiliated resellers at the all-others rate determined in a less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, rather than at the rate calculated for an examined producer of that merchandise in an administrative review.  Second, Commerce is considering codifying and possibly revising the analysis it conducts to determine if it is appropriate to apply an average-to-transaction (A-to-T) comparison methodology in LTFV investigations and certain administrative reviews.  Finally, Commerce is considering modifying or removing 351.214(l), which provides for the conduct of an expedited administrative review following the conclusion of a CVD investigation.
