How It Impacts Importers

Importers sourcing cast iron soil pipe from China face significant financial exposure under both anti-dumping and countervailing measures. Companies must confirm product scope, validate normal values with exporters, and review landed cost calculations. High residual dumping margins increase risk for non-cooperative suppliers. Proper documentation and CARM compliance reduce assessment errors and penalties.
