CBP Testing Processes to Allow for Earlier Corrections of AD/CVD Entry Errors, COAC Says

CBP is continuing work with a “pool of entry filers” to test automated processes “that can help entry filers identify potential errors” related to antidumping and countervailing duties, Commercial Customs Operations Advisory Committee member Matt Zehner said at the COAC’s March 29 meeting in Seattle. The processes could potentially allow the trade to correct entries with AD/CVD at a “much earlier stage in the process,” Zehner said. The COAC and CBP also are discussing how the trade community could be better informed with AD/CVD orders requiring an importer certification, and are looking to “facilitate the entry filing of that certification” so that the certifications are “evident in ACE,” he said.
