WASHINGTON — On May 17, 2023, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued a notice of investigation and interim measures in Enforce and Protect Act (EAPA) Consolidated Investigation 7809. In this case, CBP is investigating whether the importers, Vanity Art, LLC (Vanity) and Legion Furniture, Inc. (Legion) (collectively, the Importers) evaded antidumping duty (AD) order A-570-084 and countervailing duty (CVD) order C-570-085 on quartz surface products (covered merchandise) from the People’s Republic of China (China). CBP found there was reasonable suspicion that the Importer entered into the United States, through evasion, covered merchandise from China which had been transshipped through Vietnam.
In light of CBP’s determination and pursuant to its authorities under EAPA, CBP will:
- Suspend or extend entries of the Importers without final computation or determination of duties (liquidation), as appropriate; and
- Review the Importers’ continuous bonds and application of single transaction bonds for their entries, as appropriate.
