Although this website is not meant to be a substitute for counseling by private experts, it is designed
to introduce you to the basics of the U.S. unfair trade laws with respect to AD/CVD
investigations, and provide information on the statutory petition requirements which must be
satisfied for the Department of Commerce to initiate an investigation. Prior to the official filing of
a petition, any communications with you on these matters will be treated as confidential information and
will not be disclosed to outside parties.
