Anti-dumping measures
Anti-dumping measures are trade policies that governments use to protect domestic industries from unfair competition. When a foreign company sells goods in another country at prices lower than their normal value (often due to subsidies or selling below cost), this practice is called "dumping." To counter this, the importing country may impose additional tariffs or duties on those goods, making them more expensive and helping local businesses compete. The goal is to ensure fair trade practices and maintain a level playing field in the market.
