If you are a U.S. importer who fails to understand AD/CVD and fails to discern that your imported items are subject to AD and/or CVD, the imposition of truly harsh additional duties and penalties by the U.S. Government can ruin you financially, cause you to lose customers, and lead to increased examinations of your imported goods and audits of your import entries by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
All sorts of imported products are subject to AD and CVD investigations.
