Dumping takes place when a company sells goods at a lower price in the foreign market then the price it charges in its domestic market. This is an unfair trade practice which can have a distorted effect on international trade.

There are two fundamental parameters used for determination of dumping, namely, the normal value and the export price. Both these elements have to be compared at the same level of trade, generally at ex-factory level, for assessment of dumping. The normal value is generally the price of the product at issue, in the ordinary course of trade, when destined for consumption in the exporting country market.

Export price of goods means the price at which the goods are sold to importing country. It is generally the cost, insurance and freight (CIF) value minus the adjustments account of ocean freight, insurance, commission etc. so as to arrive at the value of ex-factory level.

There is nothing inherently illegal about dumping as long as it does not cause material injury to domestic industries. However, when dumping causes or threatens to cause material injury to the domestic industry, the anti-dumping authorities initiate necessary action for investigations and subsequent imposition of anti-dumping duties.

Under Article VI of GATT 1994, and the Anti-Dumping Agreement, WTO Members can impose anti-dumping measures, if, after investigation in accordance with the Agreement, a determination is made (a) that dumping is occurring, (b) that the domestic industry producing the like product in the importing country is suffering material injury, and (c) that there is a causal link between the two.

Therefore, the agreement clearly lays down the principle that anti-dumping duties on dumped imports cannot be levied solely on the ground that a product is being sold at a lower price to the importing country. They can be levied only if it is established, that the dumping is causing material injury to that industry.

Broadly, injury may be analyzed in terms of the volume effect and price effect of the dumped imports. The parameters by which injury to the domestic industry is to be assessed in the anti-dumping proceedings are such economic indicators having a bearing upon the state of industry as the magnitude of dumping, and the decline in sales, selling price, profits, market share, production, utilization of capacity etc

Anti-dumping action involves charging extra import duty i.e. anti-dumping duty on the particular product that is being exported from a particular country in order to bring its price closer to the domestic price or to remove the injury to the domestic industry in importing country.

Under the GATT provisions, anti-dumping duties cannot exceed dumping margin. However, it is suggested to impose a lesser duty, which is adequate to remove the injury caused to domestic industry. Under Indian laws, the authorities are obliged to restrict the anti-dumping duty to lower of the two i.e. dumping margin and injury margin.
