“Foreign manufacturers are employing aggressive pricing strategies in an effort to seize new markets. In response, the EAEU is implementing anti-dumping measures.
These measures help create a level playing field for competition, protecting local producers in EAEU countries.
The measures in place cover the market of five countries amounting to approximately $20 billion and protect 50,000 jobs across more than 120 enterprises.”
- Andrey Zakharov, Director of the Department for Internal Market Protection of the EEC
Anti-dumping measures represent a set of administrative and economic tools designed to protect competition and local producers from price undercutting (dumping).
They include special duties, temporary measures, price commitments, increased contract security, and other restrictions imposed in the event of a sharp price drop (usually by 25% or more).
In the realm of international trade, such measures are employed by states to protect the local economy from the import of goods priced below their normal value.
