The de minimis threshold should be set at USD 30000 of disbursements under the CDSOA relating to anti-dumping and countervailing duties paid on imports from the Union for the most recent year for which data are available at that time, as published by the United States’ authorities (U.S. Customs and Border Protection). Below that threshold, the additional import duty, as resulting from the formula mandated by the WTO authorisation, would have no trade impact and would thus be economically negligible. It would also cause disproportionate administrative costs for the Union.
