CBP Plans for AD/CV Duty Collection Executive Order Due to White House
CBP's plans for addressing unpaid antidumping and countervailing duties as part of President Donald Trump’s March 31 executive order (see 1703310076) are due to the White House this week. A CBP spokeswoman said the agency may provide a public update in coming days. Lisa Gelsomino, enforcement and revenue subcommittee chair on the Commercial Customs Operations Advisory Committee (COAC), said "CBP has performed outreach with COAC Working Groups and various industries to collect information and understand challenges while also racing to meet the 90-day deadline required by the" executive order. CBP will need "to share its plan with the White House by the deadline before any public information can be shared," said Gelsomino, who is also CEO of Avalon Risk Management.

CBP was put in charge of meeting the goals of the executive order, which include plans for new requirements of importers believed to pose AD/CV duty liability risks. A CBP official said last month it was considering several options, including new bonding schemes and suspensions of largely unused importer of record numbers (see 1705240060). The order also called for interdiction and disposal plans that would include “methods other than seizure,” as well as ways to share information related to intellectual property infringement.
