Anti-dumping

Anti-dumping measures are trade-defence actions used when imported products are considered to be sold at unfairly low prices and are alleged to harm domestic producers. An investigation examines the relevant imports and market effects before authorities decide whether measures are justified. This archive concept covers investigations, duties and extensions involving steel products, including cases affecting pipes, bars and other product groups. It distinguishes anti-dumping action from broader import restrictions, safeguards and ordinary customs or trade-flow changes. Articles may also cover the effect of these proceedings on exporters, domestic producers and cross-border steel trade, while preserving the status of each measure as proposed, under investigation or already in force.
