These are legitimate strategies used by importers and trade lawyers. Deliberately misclassifying goods or falsifying origin to avoid ADD is customs fraud and carries criminal penalties.
1. Correct HS classification
ADD orders are scoped to specific HS codes. If your product genuinely falls under a different heading — for example, a component versus an assembled product — it may fall outside the order's scope. A misclassification in either direction is illegal, but getting the right code can legitimately change whether ADD applies.
The fastest way to verify your HS code is correct — and whether an alternative classification might legitimately apply — is AI-assisted classification.
Look up your HS code →2. Scope ruling (US) or product exclusion
In the US, you can request a scope ruling from the Department of Commerce to formally determine whether your specific product falls within an ADD order. In the EU, you can request a 'new exporter review' or submit evidence during expiry reviews. Both are legitimate administrative procedures.
3. Country of origin analysis
ADD orders are origin-specific. If you can legitimately source the same product from a country not covered by an ADD order — and the product is genuinely manufactured there — you pay the MFN rate instead. Many ADD orders have circumvention findings on specific countries, so verify the full order text.
4. Substantial transformation in a third country
If goods are sufficiently processed in a third country (not subject to ADD), they may acquire a new country of origin under rules of substantial transformation. This must be genuine manufacturing, not simple assembly or minor processing — customs authorities scrutinise this closely and there are anti-circumvention provisions.
5. New shipper review (US) or individual examination (EU)
New exporters who were not active during the original ADD investigation period can request an individual rate review. This often results in a lower company-specific rate than the 'all-others' rate. Both the US and EU provide this mechanism.
6. Administrative review / annual review
In the US, annual administrative reviews allow importers and exporters to request revised rates based on actual dumping margins. In the EU, interim and expiry reviews can result in lower or abolished rates. If your supplier has significantly raised prices since the original investigation, their current dumping margin may be much lower.
