Anti-Dumping Duty
Dumping is when a foreign company exports goods at a price below what it charges at home or below cost. An anti-dumping duty is imposed after an investigation to offset that unfair price advantage.
Why It Matters
Anti-dumping duties protect domestic producers from being undercut, but raise costs for buyers.
In India
India regularly imposes anti-dumping duties on certain Chinese steel, chemicals and solar products.
