CBP's answer: B. B: On the date of the filing of the petition

For an AD or CVD case that is not self-initiated, the proceeding begins on the date the petition is filed (B). Publication of the notice of initiation starts only a self-initiated investigation.

A “proceeding” begins on the date of the filing of a petition under section 702(b) or section 732(b) of the Act 19 CFR 351.102(b)(40)
