Also known as: Antidumping duty, Trade remedy duty
An additional duty levied on imported goods that are subject to dumping or foreign government subsidies, designed to protect domestic industry from unfair trade practices.
A countervailing duty (cuota compensatoria) is an additional charge on imports that have been found to involve unfair trade practices such as dumping or government subsidies. In Mexico, the Ministry of Economy (Secretaría de Economía) investigates and determines these duties. In the U.S., the International Trade Commission (ITC) and Commerce Department perform similar functions.
Countervailing duties are paid in addition to regular duties and can be very significant — in some cases exceeding 100% of the merchandise value.
