Anti-Dumping & Countervailing Duty Support
At Maple Customs Brokerage LLC, our Anti-Dumping (AD) & Countervailing Duty (CVD) Support service helps importers navigate complex trade remedy regulations and avoid costly penalties. Certain imported products may be subject to additional duties if they are determined to be unfairly priced (dumped) or subsidized by foreign governments.
These special duties can significantly increase your import costs and create compliance risks if not properly managed. Our experts provide guidance, assessment, and ongoing support to protect your business.
What Are Anti-Dumping & Countervailing Duties?
Anti-Dumping Duties (AD) are imposed when imported goods are sold at prices lower than their fair market value.
Countervailing Duties (CVD) are applied when foreign governments provide subsidies that give exporters an unfair advantage.
In the United States, these trade remedies are administered and enforced by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in coordination with the U.S. Department of Commerce.
AD/CVD rates can be substantial and may apply to products such as steel, aluminum, solar panels, machinery, and various manufactured goods.
