Anti-dumping investigations are procedures initiated and conducted either following a complaint by the domestic industry producing the like product or, in some situations, investigations that are self-initiated by authorities in the importing country (ex officio investigations) to determine whether a product is being dumped and is injuring national producers (or a third country’s exporters) of the like product. Provisional duties may be applied during the investigation.
