CBP recently announced the following antidumping and countervailing duty evasion investigation under the Enforce and Protect Act:
The Court of International Trade on Dec. 1 sent an Enforce and Protect Act (EAPA) evasion determination back down to CBP for reconsideration, finding the agency failed to properly disclose information to the accused that it relied on to find the importer guilty of evasion. CBP’s regulations require the agency to make available public summaries of any redacted or business confidential information on the record of an EAPA investigation, but CBP did not do so during a proceeding involving Royal Brush Manufacturing, a pencil importer alleged to have transshipped Chinese pencils through the Philippines to avoid antidumping duties, CIT said.

A furniture importer filed a wide-ranging legal challenge on Nov. 4 of CBP’s regulations and procedures for Enforce and Protect Act investigations. Aspects Furniture says the 2016 law, as well as CBP’s regulations and policies implementing it, deprived it of its constitutional due process rights. The importer also says CBP misapplied deadlines and relied on hearsay and unsupported claims to find it evaded AD duties. CBP found Aspects evaded antidumping duties on wooden bedroom furniture from China in an EAPA determination finalized in May (see 2005220029).

A potential expansion of CBP authority under the Enforce and Protect Act that would apply to malfeasance beyond the evasion of antidumping or countervailing duties will be part of the agency's 21st Century Customs Framework discussion, CBP Executive Assistant Commissioner for International Trade Brenda Smith said during an Oct. 21 conference call with reporters. Smith last year mentioned the possibility of an expanded authority (see 1907240025). Currently, CBP uses the EAPA processes only to investigate AD/CV duty evasion.
