What is an anti-dumping duty?
An anti-dumping duty is a special duty to offset the margin of dumping on dumped imports that are causing, or threatening to cause, material injury to domestic producers of like products. The margin of dumping is equal to the difference between the normal value of the product (generally the price charged in the exporter’s home market or the full cost of production of the product) and the export price of the product. Unlike a countervail investigation, therefore, anti-dumping investigations focus on the pricing behaviour of individual foreign companies.
