U.S. Import Injury Boomerang Filings: Import Sources

This briefing is the second in a series that provides an overview of import injury filing trends in industries that have sought relief multiple times between 1995 and 2020 (i.e., “boomerang” industries/filings ). With increasing interest in industries that file successive AD/CVD petitions, the series provides insight into various trends regarding boomerang filings. Over the period of study, these filings covered imports from a broad variety of sources with China as the most frequently named source. Second and further boomerang filings tend to name more sources than original filings do and the average difference in the number of sources named between the two types has grown.
