  • Establishing an Exporters' Helpdesk: The ministry has set up a dedicated helpdesk to address queries and provide guidance to exporters facing countervailing duty cases.
  • Capacity Building Programmes: The ministry conducts capacity building programmes and workshops to educate exporters on various aspects of countervailing duty investigations, including legal provisions and procedural requirements.
  • Evidence Collection Support: The ministry assists exporters in collecting and submitting evidence required for countervailing duty investigations. This includes providing guidance on documentary requirements and facilitating access to relevant data and information.
  • Engaging with U.S. Authorities: The ministry engages with U.S. authorities to present exporters' positions and defend their interests during countervailing duty investigations, including through consultations and meetings.
  • Collaboration with Industry Associations: The ministry collaborates with industry associations to gather inputs, advocate for exporters' interests, and strengthen the support provided to exporters in countervailing duty cases.
These efforts aim to enhance exporters' understanding of countervailing duty investigations, streamline the process, and facilitate their participation, ultimately helping them navigate the U.S. market more effectively.
