Countervailing Duties
-
2018 and 2020 saw record levels of countervailing duty investigations.
-
There appears to have been a significant fall in CVD investigations in 2021.​
-
The US has by far been the most active in countervailing duties, with the EU and Canada also initiating significant numbers of cases.
-
Over the whole period, an average of 59% of CVD investigations resulted in measures. This is lower than anti-dumping (67%) but higher than safeguards (50%).


-
As with anti-dumping China is the exporting country most involved in CVD investigations.
-
India has also faced a significant number of investigations.

-
Over the period 1995-2022, almost half of investigations initiated have involved metals/steel products.
-
Chemicals also accounts for around one third of CVD investigations, a similar rate to the proportion of anti-dumping investigations it faces.
