What will be the consequence of failing to file the ADD reimbursement Certification?

The consequence of failing to file the ADD (Antidumping Duty) reimbursement Certification is the assessment of 200% of the duties. This provision is established to prevent and deter companies from circumventing antidumping duties through reimbursement practices. When a reimbursement certification is not filed, it signals non-compliance with the regulations, leading to this significant penalty.

The 200% assessment serves as a deterrent to ensure that importers are mindful of the rules surrounding antidumping duties and that they accurately report any reimbursements they may have received. This high penalty underscores the importance of compliance in international trade, especially in the context of protecting domestic industries from unfair pricing practices. It is an essential enforcement mechanism designed to maintain the integrity of the antidumping duty system.

In contrast, options related to loss of entry or immediate re-exportation do not typically pertain to the specific consequence of failing to file the ADD reimbursement Certification. The assessment of 100% of duties is also not the standard penalty for such a violation, making the 200% assessment the most appropriate and relevant consequence in this scenario.
