What is dumping?
Dumping is a practice developed by some companies that export products to a foreign market at a lower price than they charge in their domestic market (price discrimination).
According to World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, when this practice causes significant damage to a national production branch of the importing country, corrective measures (anti-dumping duties) are applied in order to preserve the conditions of competition between national and imported products.
Aduana News is the first Argentine customs newspaper to launch its digital version. With 20 years of experience, its publications and initiatives aim to provide the most relevant knowledge on customs issues in order to contribute to safe trade in the region.
