This month, CDSOA payouts are scheduled to be made to eligible U.S. companies.

The controversial U.S. Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA or Byrd Amendment) instructs U.S. Customs and Border Protection to distribute antidumping and countervailing duties to U.S. companies participating in successful trade actions against the products and importers. Customs collects and holds these duties in escrow, case-by-case, during the fiscal year.

Companies eligible to participate in the customs duty payouts must then file documented claims for that year's disbursements with Customs.
