Not sure what to make of all this talk of countervailing duties and antidumping tariffs? For the purpose of Department of Commerce investigations:
- “Dumping” occurs when a foreign company sells a product in the United States at less than fair value.
- “Countervailable subsidies” are financial assistance from foreign governments that benefit the production of goods from foreign companies and are limited to specific enterprises or industries, or are contingent either upon export performance or upon the use of domestic goods over imported goods.
