Why has dumping become such an issue in recent years?
The growing importance of world trade to individual companies has combined with saturated domestic markets, overproduction and increased competition to encourage dumping in many product areas. Procedures are looking to the marginal revenue contribution which can be gained when products are sold above direct cost into markets not normally sold.
In recent years the number of dumping complaints in the United States has exploded and interest in antidumping enforcement and legislation has grown apace.
