Dumping Consultancy Service
In the increasingly competitive environment of global trade, many countries implement anti-dumping, countervailing (subsidy), and safeguard measures to protect domestic producers. These measures aim to prevent unfair competition in the import of specific products and the harm caused to domestic industries.
Anti-dumping duties are applied when a product's export price is lower than the exporter's domestic market price in their home country.
Countervailing duties are imposed in response to subsidies provided to producers by the exporting country.
Safeguard measures, on the other hand, are temporary measures that can be applied against all countries in cases where sudden and high import surges cause serious injury to domestic production.
Why is it Important?
Anti-dumping and similar measures are implemented following technical and complex investigations conducted based on both domestic and international regulations. These investigations typically last about 1 year, and it is critically important for companies to provide accurate, complete, and timely information during this process. Incomplete or incorrect information can lead to high duty rates and loss of competitiveness in the target market.
