To modify the procedures for investigating claims of evasion of antidumping and countervailing duty orders.

This bill changes how U.S. Customs and Border Protection investigates claims that importers are avoiding antidumping and countervailing duties, which are extra tariffs placed on certain imported goods. It would let the Commissioner of Customs start an evasion investigation on their own when information reasonably suggests goods were brought in through evasion, using the same rules that apply to investigations started by outside allegations or referrals. It would also require a person found to have evaded these duties to pay all finalized duties and charges before they can ask a court to review the decision.
