Requirements for Imposing Measures

Factsheet Highlights

• Imports are being dumped/subsidised
• Injury to the UK industry
• Causal relationship
• 皇冠体育app imposition of measures meets the Economic Interest Test

皇冠体育app TRA reviews evidence in an investigation to determine whether the requirements for imposing measures have been met.

For anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures to be imposed against UK imports, there must be sufficient evidence that:

• Imports are being dumped/subsidised
• 皇冠体育appre is injury to the UK industry
• 皇冠体育appre is a causal relationship between dumping/subsidy and the injury
• 皇冠体育app imposition of measures meets the Economic Interest Test

Imports are being dumped/subsidised

Dumping occurs when goods are imported into a country and sold at a price that is below their normal value in their country of export. 皇冠体育app TRA calculates dumping margins for each exporter sampled as part of their work to assess whether the dumped imports have caused material injury.

皇冠体育app dumping margin is the difference between the export price and the normal value of the goods being dumped, described as a percentage of the export price. 皇冠体育app TRA then uses the dumping margin along with the injury margin to set anti-dumping duty rates where they are needed.

For countervailing investigations there must be evidence that imported goods have received a financial contribution by a foreign authority, confer a benefit on recipients, and their effects are targeted to specific UK industries, regions or situations (instead of the whole economy), and that fall within the period of investigation.

Injury to the UK industry

Injury to a UK industry exists when there is demonstrated material injury or threat of material injury to the industry or material retardation of the establishment of the industry.

Material injury: there is evidence of a UK industry being injured by dumped goods or subsidised imports.

Threat of material injury: injury which, although it has not yet occurred, is clearly foreseen and imminent.

Material retardation: where there is no existing UK industry producing goods like those the TRA has been asked to investigate, or only a newly emerging industry.

Causal relationship

A causal link between dumped goods or subsidised imports and injury to the UK industry must be shown. This can include (but is not limited to) when:

• 皇冠体育app volume of dumped goods or subsidised imports affect the prices in the UK market for the like goods during the injury period

• 皇冠体育appre are no external factors such as a financial crisis or new models of the like goods entering the markets, causing a significant decline in demand for the like goods

• 皇冠体育appre are no other relevant factors such as natural disasters or seasonal issues, that might have resulted in the UK industry鈥檚 reduced or lost share of the domestic market

皇冠体育app imposition of measures meets the Economic Interest Test

皇冠体育app Economic Interest Test (EIT) considers the expected impact on the UK of imposing a trade measure, compared to the impact of taking no action or introducing a different measure.

皇冠体育app main stages of, and details about, the EIT process are set out in the fact sheet: 皇冠体育app Economic Interest Test and on our online guidance.
