How to File an AD/CVD Petition
In order to file a successful AD/CVD petition, a petitioning U.S. industry must provide a reasonable basis to believe or suspect that dumping and/or subsidization of a particular product is occurring, that the domestic industry has suffered “material injury or threat thereof,” and that there is a causal link between them. There are six main areas of a petition. Click on each area below for more information.
The guidelines for an antidumping or countervailing duty petition will help you begin to understand the types of information you will need to gather to prepare a petition and how to organize the information. This slideshow provides additional background on Commerce and USITC AD/CVD investigations. The sample outline (link to destination page) of a petition may also help you to understand how information is organized in a petition.
