The cumulative analysis is intended to take into account dumped imports from more than one country on a combined basis to assess whether the dumped imports are causing injury to the canadian industry. Since such an analysis will increase the volume of imports whose effects will be taken into account, there is of course a greater possibility of a positive finding in a case involving a cumulative analysis. The practice of cumulative analysis has been the subject of much controversy in the context of the Tokyo Round Code and in the negotiations on the agreement. Article 3(3) of the Agreement lays down the conditions under which a cumulative assessment of the impact of dumped imports from more than one country may be carried out. The authorities must determine that the margin of dumping of each country is not de minimis, that the volume of imports from each country is not negligible, and that a cumulative assessment is appropriate in view of the conditions of competition between imports and between imports and the like domestic product. De minimis dumping margins and negligible import volumes are set out in the Agreement. Recently, the number of anti-dumping proceedings initiated by US companies has increased. Local companies rely on anti-dumping laws to limit unfair competition from foreign-made imports below market value. The International Trade Commission (ITC) imposes the anti-dumping duties based on the recommendations of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Two alternatives are provided for the determination of normal value in the event that sales on the market of the exporting country do not constitute an appropriate basis. (a) the price at which the product is sold to a third country; and (b) the constructed value of the product, calculated on the basis of production costs plus selling, general and administrative costs and profits.
The agreement contains detailed and specific rules for the determination of a constructed value that govern the information to be used to determine the amounts of costs, expenses and profits, the allocation of these constructed value elements to the specific product concerned and adjustments for specific situations such as start-up costs and single cost elements.

AD/CVD paid at the time of registration are cash deposits of the estimated AD/CVD fees. The final amount of duty due will not be determined until the Department of Commerce conducts an administrative review to determine the final RATES of AD/CVD for previous entries. In other words, definitive duties are imposed retroactively to previous entries. The final AD/CVD amount may increase, decrease or remain unchanged from the AD/CVD cash deposit paid at the time of registration. Once trade has provided CBP with instructions on the final AD/CVD rate for registration, CBP will assess this final obligation.
CBP will issue an invoice for any fee increase plus interest or refund an overpayment plus interest as a result of a duty reduction. Interest does not apply to registrations made during the period of provisional measures in the original DPA/CVM investigation. On average, this entire process takes about three years from the date of importation. The Agreement lays down specific rules allowing, in exceptional circumstances, injury to be taken into account by producers constituting a regional industry. It can be established that a regional industry exists in a separate competitive market where producers in that market sell all or substantially all of their production of the like product on that market and demand for the like product on that market is not provided to a significant extent by the producers of the like product outside that market. If this is the case, the investigating authorities may establish the existence of injury, even if a significant part of the domestic industry as a whole, including producers outside the region, is not materially injured. However, the determination of injury to the regional industry is only possible if (1) the dumped imports are concentrated on the market served by the regional industry and (2) the dumped imports are injured to producers of all or substantially all of the production on that market. The ITC investigated the allegations on the recommendation of the Ministry of Commerce to determine whether there was injury or threat of injury in the domestic market.
The agency found Chinese companies guilty of disposing of steel products and causing property damage to U.S. companies. The ITC imposed a 500% import duty on certain steel imports from China to protect the domestic steel industry. The agreement requires a fair comparison of the export price with the normal value. The basic conditions for a fair comparison are that the prices compared are the prices of sales made at the same level of trade, usually ex-works, and sales made as close as possible to the same period. Under the transparency and participation requirements of the Agreement, investigating authorities are required to provide the parties with the information necessary for a fair settlement, by electronic means. B information on corrections, adjustments and currency conversions, and does not impose an unreasonable burden of proof on the parties. If an importer believes that the items they are importing have been misclassified, they should contact the appropriate Centre of Excellence and Expertise. Contact information for all centres can be found under www.cbp.gov/trade/centers-excellence-and-expertise-information. CBP is responsible for enforcing AD/CVD laws on imported goods. CBP collects AD/CVD cash deposits, manages AD/CVD records, evaluates and collects final AD/CVD, and applies AD/CVD on imports that circumvent AD/CVD orders.
CBP uses significant national assets from across the agency to enforce DA/CVM laws. CBP also works with the United States. .
