9.       Income for Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA)

The CDSOA provides for distribution of monies collected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (Customs) for imports covered by antidumping duty orders entering the United States through September 30, 2007 to qualified domestic producers.  In 2016 and 2015, we received $1.1 million and $5.3 million, respectively, in distributions of funds collected on antidumping duty orders entering the United States prior to September 2007.  The distribution amount in 2015 included $4.9 million of distributions for 2012, 2013 and 2014 that were withheld by Customs until pending ligation had been exhausted.
