AIIS Files Comments Regarding CBP Regulations on Duty Evasion Claims

AIIS urges the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Bureau to use caution in responding to allegations of evasion of antidumping and countervailing duties. Interim measures can be devastating to alleged evaders who are later found to be innocent of charges, says AIIS. The press release outlining recommendations by AIIS follows:
