Event Synopsis: On June 29, 2015, U.S. President Barack Obama signed the Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015 into law. Aside from Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and trade preference extensions, the law also includes significant Antidumping and Countervailing Duty (AD/CVD) modifications. The new AD/CVD provisions are expected to impact international trade investigations and reviews in various ways, including the potential for domestic industries to obtain relief more easily and to provide additional tools for government authorities to obtain cooperation from foreign producers in the conduct of these investigations. In addition, on February 24, 2016, President Obama signed the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act into law. This comprehensive legislation includes the Enforce and Protect Act, which creates a new division and procedures in U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) to combat the evasion of AD/CVD orders. The new administrative procedures, which include additional oversight of CBP and the opportunity to seek judicial review, supplement the existing statutory provisions that already allow CBP to impose civil penalties for an importer that makes false statements when entering merchandise into the United States. These new laws provide opportunities and risks for parties affected by import competition or existing AD/CVD orders. Such parties need to be familiar with and monitor how the U.S. agencies with authority to regulate trade (CBP, Commerce, and the ITC) implement these changes. In this two-hour LIVE Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders will help companies involved with trade remedy proceedings to better understand the important aspects of these developments. They will provide an in-depth discussion of the modified AD/CVD Laws and other updates. Speakers will also offer best compliance practices to avoid common risk and pitfalls. Key topics include: § Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015: A Legal Primer § The AD and CVD Changes § The Enforce and Protect Act § Regulatory/ § Common Risks and Pitfalls § Best Compliance Practices About The Knowledge Group/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series The Knowledge Group was established with the mission to produce unbiased, objective, and educational live webinars that examine industry trends and regulatory changes from a variety of different perspectives.
