              antidumping and countervailing duty orders.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. MODIFICATION OF PROCEDURES FOR INVESTIGATING CLAIMS OF 
              EVASION OF ANTIDUMPING AND COUNTERVAILING DUTY ORDERS.

    (a) Investigations.--Section 517(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930 
(19 U.S.C. 1517(b)) is amended by adding at the end the following: 
``The Commissioner may also self-initiate an investigation if the 
Commissioner has information that reasonably suggests that covered 
merchandise has been entered into the customs territory of the United 
States through evasion. In such case, the terms and conditions that 
apply to the processes for allegations and referrals under this section 
shall also apply to a process for self-initiation under the preceding 
sentence.''.
    (b) Judicial Review.--Section 517(g)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930 
(19 U.S.C. 1517(g)(1)) is amended by adding at the end the following: 
``A person determined to have entered such covered merchandise through 
evasion may seek judicial review under this paragraph only if all 
liquidated duties, charges, or exactions have been paid at the time the 
judicial review is sought.''.
