Margin Analysis
CBIZ has significant expertise in analyzing and quantifying dumping margins under various assumptions and scenarios. Our team has developed computer programs that can be tailored to the specific facts of each proceeding. These programs allow us to analyze respondents’ data accurately and quickly and allow counsel and clients to understand more fully the factors that drive potential antidumping liability.
We have proven highly effective in analyzing the sensitivity of margins to alternative product matching, price adjustments, and product costing methodologies. Our expertise and programs can be used to identify the specific cause of any dumping margin (e.g., the pricing of particular products in the foreign or domestic market, movement charges, selling expenses, or production costs). This analysis is critical in ensuring the most effective representation during an investigation. In addition, we assist in developing respondents’ strategic plans for managing dumping margins.
We review the government agency’s margin calculations for both respondents and petitioners to identify clerical programming errors and verify that the appropriate methodologies have been used. The information is used to assist in the preparation of briefs and comments.
Margin Monitoring and Target Pricing
Many companies are forced to operate under current or potential future antidumping constraints. CBIZ works with law firms and their clients to develop strategies for managing antidumping duty liability. Such strategies are critical for companies already covered by an antidumping order and can be equally important for companies not yet involved in dumping actions. We can assess the potential dumping duty liability, communicate this information to management, and assist in developing optimal strategies for managing the liability.
