About Anti-Dumping

(ANTI-DUMPING)

Dumping occurs when a foreign business sells products in another country at a price lower than the normal value (usually the domestic market price in the exporting country or the cost of production). This low pricing harms the domestic industry of the importing country.

The Purpose of Anti-Dumping Regulation

  • Protecting the Domestic Industry
    Anti-dumping measures are implemented to protect domestic businesses from having to compete with imported goods sold at excessively low prices, which can harm local production.
  • Re-establish fair competition
    Anti-dumping measures help re-establish a level playing field for domestic and international businesses, preventing unfair competition practices.
