Countervailing duties (CVDs)

Countervailing Duties (CVDs): What They Are, How They're Calculated, and What They Cost Importers

Countervailing duties are among the most consequential and least understood trade measures shaping global supply chains in 2026. Active CVD orders on Chinese solar panels, steel, aluminum, and hundreds of other product categories add high cost to imports, and the landscape keeps shifting: the EU imposed definitive countervailing duties on Chinese electric vehicles in late 2024, and that case is still being contested at the WTO. This guide explains what countervailing duties are, how they are investigated and calculated, which sectors they hit hardest, and, crucially, who is legally responsible for paying them.

Digital Transformation for IOR in Industrial Sector

How Digital Transformation Is Redefining the Importer of Record

The Importer of Record (IOR) role has always carried significant legal responsibility, but the way that responsibility is managed is changing rapidly. Digital transformation is reshaping how Importers of Record classify goods, manage customs documentation, monitor shipments, and demonstrate compliance. What was once a process built on paperwork, spreadsheets, and email chains is becoming a connected, data-driven operation. For businesses importing across multiple jurisdictions, understanding this shift is no longer optional. It directly affects customs clearance speed, compliance exposure, operational efficiency, and customer experience.
