The U.S. Commerce Department's investigation is a year-long, invasive process often requiring the filing of sensitive financial and production data and a factory visit by U.S. government officials. It is critical for Chinese companies to employ U.S. counsel to navigate this process. Mowry & Grimson attorneys have represented Chinese companies in some of the biggest antidumping cases involving China, including the recent investigation of wooden bedroom furniture, the largest antidumping case ever brought against China. In particular, our attorneys have significant experience in the complex non-market economy, or NME, methodology used by the U.S. Commerce Department in calculating antidumping margins in cases involving countries such as China. It is critical for Chinese companies to employ experienced U.S. counsel to navigate this process.
Mowry & Grimson attorneys are also adept at counseling Chinese companies on how to minimize their antidumping liability in the annual administrative reviews conducted by the U.S. Commerce Department after the imposition of an antidumping order. We also keep our clients up to date on developments in U.S. and Chinese law that affect their ability to export to the United States. Since 2009, China has been actively pursuing antidumping and countervailing duty investigations against U.S. exports. In conjunction with local counsel in Beijing, Mowry & Grimson is representing a U.S. exporter in two of these investigations.
China Office:
In June 2009, Mowry & Grimson added a Chinese presence. Through its presence in China, Mowry & Grimson will be even better positioned to provide on-the-ground services to its Chinese clients. Mowry & Grimson is also able to offer strategic counseling to Chinese companies seeking to expand in the United States through dynamic advising and training services focusing on U.S. business practices, trade logistics and pertinent U.S. laws, including export controls and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS).
