About the product

Developed countries and a growing number of developing countries have increasingly relied on antidumping laws to provide import relief to particular economic sectors. As practiced today, however, antidumping also entails heavy costs, for the foreign firms targeted by this policy and for consumers in the country applying antidumping legislation. The publication argues that the debate on antidumping should be viewed taking into account the negotiations to create the Free Trade Areas of the Americas (FTAA) as well as the costs and benefits of all import relief measures, including safeguards.
