Customs Certified Specialist Practice Exam

Determining the deposit rate for anti-dumping duty assessments is not a power of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) but is instead handled by the Department of Commerce (DOC). The DOC is responsible for administering anti-dumping and countervailing duty laws, which include establishing the deposit rates.

On the other hand, CBP has distinct responsibilities that include enforcing customs audits to ensure compliance with laws regarding imports, regulating the entry of goods into the U.S. to protect both the economy and safety of the nation, and collecting tariffs on imported merchandise, which is part of their role in facilitating lawful trade while also collecting revenue for the government.

Understanding these distinctions helps clarify the specific roles and jurisdictions of different governmental agencies involved in trade and customs operations.
