Anti-Dumping Duty

Category: Customs

Definition (plain English)

An extra import duty applied to specific goods, countries, producers, or exporters when authorities impose a trade-remedy measure.

Why it matters commercially

Anti-dumping duty can be much larger than base customs duty and can make a product, supplier, or origin commercially unviable.

Example

A buyer found a 6% base duty but later discovered a producer-specific anti-dumping measure that added 38% to the customs value.

Common mistake

Checking only the normal tariff rate and missing country, producer, date, or product-scope conditions for trade-remedy measures.
