How can I participate in an antidumping investigation initiated by a Chinese company in China?
Click here for a current list of Chinese antidumping and countervailing duty cases involving US-origin products. Typically, a party has twenty days from the date of MOFCOM’s notice of initiation to register separately with both BOFT and IBII to participate in the investigation. Registration forms are normally available on MOFCOM’s website, but must be submitted by a PRC lawyer or law firm. After registration, a company will be able to participate in the investigation by answering questionnaires, providing legal arguments, appearing at hearings, and so forth. If a producer or exporter of the subject merchandise does not register, it may be precluded from participating in the investigation and is likely to receive an adverse outcome. The Trade Facilitation Office at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing is staffed with Import Administration professionals that can answer more questions.
