Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Tariff Act of 1930 to improve the administration of antidumping and countervailing duty laws, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Leveling the Playing Field 2.0 Act, comprehensively reforms U.S. trade law by modifying how antidumping and countervailing duty investigations are conducted, with the goal of more effectively addressing unfair trade practices. The bill introduces several key changes across multiple areas: it establishes special rules for successive trade investigations, allowing the U.S. International Trade Commission to consider the impact of recent or concurrent investigations when determining material injury; addresses market distortions by expanding the definition of what constitutes a "particular market situation" that could affect pricing and production costs; strengthens procedures to prevent circumvention of trade orders by creating more rigorous certification and inquiry processes; introduces new provisions to investigate currency undervaluation as a potential trade subsidy; and imposes stricter asset requirements on non-resident importers to ensure they can cover potential duties. The bill also applies to trade with Canada and Mexico under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement and provides detailed guidance on when and how these new provisions will be implemented, with some provisions having retroactive effect dating back to 2015. These changes are designed to provide U.S. trade authorities with more flexibility and tools to combat what they perceive as unfair international trade practices.
