Anti-Dumping Duty

• An anti-dumping duty is a protectionist tariff that a domestic government imposes on foreign imports that it believes are priced below fair market value.
• Dumping is a process where a company exports a product at a price lower than the price it normally charges on its own home market.
• To protect local businesses and markets, many countries impose stiff duties on products they believe are being dumped in their national market.
