Additional enforcement mechanisms were added for AD\/CVD, forced labor and intellectual property rights (IPR) violations.<\/p>\n<p>What has drawn the greatest attention of the importing community are the actions being taken under Title IV, Section 421 of TFTEA, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/document\/fact-sheets\/enforce-and-protect-act-2015-overview-investigation-process\">Enforce and Protect Act of 2015 (EAPA)<\/a>. This part establishes formal procedures for submitting and investigating antidumping or countervailing allegations of evasion against U.S. importers.<\/p>\n<p>An attorney from a major US law firm specializing in Customs matters said that they have seen more audits for TFTEA and EAPA in the past three months in than in the previous three years <strong>combined<\/strong>. His advice? <em>Assume every CF28 (Request for Information) for an existing antidumping case is subject to an EAPA investigation.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>An EAPA investigation is not the same as a US company filing with Commerce alleging dumping in order to get a case opened. EAPA targets companies deliberately evading an order and gives CBP greater investigatory powers. The sources of these leads come in through CBP\u2019s e-Allegations web portal and the source is usually a disgruntled employee.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2242\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rimlogistics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/CBP-EAPA-Timeline.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1509\" height=\"402\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As we touched in this week\u2019s RIM report, AD\/CVD is a priority trade item for the government. Any activity by an importer in this area, whether filing 03 antidumping entries or responding to inquiries from the government should be treated very carefully. At RIM, we strongly suggest consulting with our compliance team and counsel whenever antidumping or countervailing merchandise is involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo Credit: CBP Officers inspect cargo arriving to the Port of Philadelphia. photo by James Tourtellotte.
