dumping margin

Dumping margin is a measure used in international trade to determine how much lower the price of a foreign product is compared to its normal value. It indicates the difference between the export price and the home market price, expressed as a percentage of the export price. A higher dumping margin suggests that the foreign producer is selling their product more cheaply abroad than they do in their own country, which can potentially harm local industries. Authorities may use this information to impose antidumping duties, preventing unfair competition and protecting domestic businesses.
