Since November 2024, Canadian businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, have faced a wave of US tariffs and retaliatory measures, along with the disruption and uncertainty that follow. As trade disruptions grow, domestic industries increasingly turn to the trade remedies that are designed to protect manufacturers and workers: anti-dumping duties, countervailing duties to offset subsidies, and safeguard measures to address import surges.  In today’s unsettled trade environment, it is essential that counsel advising importers, exporters, producers, and unions have a working knowledge of the remedies and how they work in practice. Join us for this practical overview of anti-dumping (AD) and countervailing duties (CVD) and safeguard measures, focusing on procedure, strategy, and recent enforcement trends. Our expert panel will unpack: 

• The measures and their domestic legal framework 
• Anatomy of an AD/CVD investigation, from initiation to final determination 
• Strategies for petitioners, respondents, and downstream users 
• Duty evasion, circumvention, and scope issues 
• Ongoing procedures: administrative reviews, appeals, and judicial review
