Bill > HR6446

This bill modifies procedures for investigating potential evasion of antidumping and countervailing duty orders, which are special tariffs imposed to protect domestic industries from unfair foreign trade practices. Specifically, the bill amends the Tariff Act of 1930 to give the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) the authority to self-initiate investigations into potential duty evasion when they have reasonable information suggesting merchandise has been improperly imported. Additionally, the bill establishes a new requirement for judicial review of duty evasion cases, stipulating that a person found to have entered merchandise through evasion can only seek judicial review after paying all liquidated duties, charges, and other financial exactions. These changes aim to enhance CBP's ability to detect and respond to potential trade law violations and ensure that importers fulfill their financial obligations before challenging enforcement actions.
