Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Laws
Antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) laws are complex, and the duties imposed can create significant liability and risk for businesses engaged in international trade. The attorneys at Smith & Yuskaitis PLLC have extensive experience assisting importers, exporters, and foreign governments navigate the administrative process and mitigate exposure.
Our expertise includes:

We represent clients during all stages of AD/CVD processing before the U.S. Department of Commerce (“Commerce”) and the International Trade Commission (“ITC”). We have achieved successful outcomes at the government agencies, including negative determinations at the ITC as well as de minimis and low antidumping and countervailing duty rates.
Representing Clients in Administrative Reviews –
We advocate for exporters, importers, and foreign governments in administrative reviews and have experience in numerous industries including aluminum, steel, seafood, agricultural, solar, wood products, building products, cabinets, flooring, quartz surface products, bearings, automotive, chemicals, textiles, candles, retail and food products.
