The Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act, also known as the Byrd Amendment, was a hotly contested trade statute enacted by US Congress in 2000 that dictated that US Customs and Border Protection should distribute certain funds collected due to antidumping and antisubsidy duties to affected US companies. The Byrd Amendment was repealed in 2005 — partly due to trade sanctions from Canada, the EU, Japan, and Mexico — but remained in effect until Sept. 30, 2007.
Issues concerning the Byrd Amendment continued to be contested in the US Court of International Trade and the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit until 2024.
