Comment from Jessica Boley, Signature Partners

The imposition of Anti dumping and Countervailing duties on non-commodity assemblies and sub-assemblies from the PRC which are designed by, marketed by, imported by, distributed by, and sold by US companies which can be reviewed and determined quickly and easily as "cost normative" in the US market have been instead made legalistically and bureaucratically ruinous to upstanding US employers. The duty assignments for said Al extrusion components imported with nominally and normally costed and sold values that are easily viewed as comparative in the US domestic and Global markets have been imposed as excessive, unjustifiable and unfounded and without appropriate understanding and defense. The Office of US Trade Representative, the US Customs Office and the US Department of Commerce are operating offensively and in-congruently with each other to the disadvantage of and with disregard to the integrity of US employers, US employees and the US market. The legal defense of companies and outlandish deposits imposed without thorough regulatory defense are being prematurely and unjustifiably imposed and thus ruinous to US manufacturers operating with integrity in a Global market.
