National anti-dumping product inquiry guide

Anti-Dumping Duty? What is it?

When we comes to anti-Dumping, we need to know what dumping is first.

Dumping is a process wherein a company exports a product at a price that is significantly lower than the price it normally charges in its domestic market. Because dumping typically involves substantial export volumes of a product, it often endangers the financial viability of the product's manufacturer or producer in the importing nation.

The government imposes anti-dumping duty on foreign imports when it believes that the goods are being "dumped" – through the low pricing – in the domestic market. Anti-dumping duty is imposed to protect local businesses and markets from unfair competition by foreign imports.

The duty is priced in an amount that equals the difference between the normal costs of the products in the importing country and the market value of similar goods in the exporting country or other countries that produce similar products. The anti-dumping duty can be anywhere from 0% up to 550% of the invoice value of the goods.
