Detailed explanation-1: -(1) Anti-Dumping Measures The country’s imposition of an anti-dumping duty is determined by the dumping margin–the difference between the export price and the domestic selling price in the exporting country. By adding dumping margin to export price, the dumped price can be rendered a “fair” trade price.

Detailed explanation-2: -Under the WTO arrangement, the National Authorities can impose duties upto the margin of dumping i.e. the difference between the normal value and the export price. The Indian law also provides that the anti dumping duty to be recommended/levied shall not exceed the dumping margin.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anti-dumping duties are typically levied when a foreign company is selling an item significantly below the price at which it is being produced. While the intention of anti-dumping duties is to save domestic jobs, these tariffs can also lead to higher prices for domestic consumers.
