ITA Announces Proposal to Govern False Statement Allegations in AD/CVD Proceedings
Today the US Department of Commerce's International Trade Administration (ITA) published a notice in the Federal Register indicating that ITA is considering proposing regulations to govern its investigation of allegations of false statements to the agency during antidumping and countervailing duty proceedings and the imposition of sanctions
against those persons found to have certified and submitted false statements or engaged in any scheme to provide such statements.
The notice requests members of the bar who regularly practice before IA, as well as from interested members of the general public, to assist IA in determining whether to issue regulations pertaining to false statements and, if so, what those regulations should address. Comments on the ITA's proposal are due at ITA by March 26, 2004.
