Conducting verification

A crucial part of every anti-dumping and countervailing duty investigation is the ‘verification’ of the foreign company’s response. Prior to the Trade Agreements Act of 1979, United States law did not require foreign producers to substantiate any of the information submitted to the Treasury Department in unfair trade investigations. Concerned that foreign companies might take advantage of this situation, the United States Congress changed the law to require that all information used in anti-dumping investigations be verified as accurate.
