Expert Advisory and Representation in Trade Remedies
DGFT EXIM offers expert advisory and representation services in Trade Remedies Investigations, helping businesses protect their interests and ensure fair competition in the international trade arena.
Trade remedy measures are vital tools used by governments worldwide to counter unfair trade practices and safeguard domestic industries from injury caused by unfair imports.
What Are Trade Remedies?
Trade remedies are policy instruments deployed by a country to address unfair trade practices or sudden surges in imports that harm domestic producers. The key trade remedies include:
- Anti-Dumping Duty (ADD): Imposed when goods are exported to India at prices lower than their normal value in the exporting country, causing injury to domestic industries.
- Countervailing Duty (CVD): Levied to offset the impact of subsidies provided by exporting countries to their exporters, ensuring a level playing field.
- Safeguard Duty: Temporarily imposed to protect domestic industries from serious injury due to sudden and unforeseen increases in imports.
