Congress Repeals Byrd Amendment, Ending Billion Dollar Subsidy - 3/07/06
International Client Alert
March 7, 2006

Robert Clifton Burns
William Steinman

A provision eventually repealing the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act ("CDSOA") was included in the Budget Reconciliation Act. While the status of that Act is currently uncertain due to a clerical error in another provision, this revocation is expected to continue. Better known as the Byrd Amendment, CDSOA requires the payment of antidumping and countervailing duties collected from U.S. importers by the U.S. government to those U.S. producers that supported the original petitions requesting that such duties be imposed on the imports.
