Plain meaning
A trade-remedy concept referring to harm, or threat of harm, to a domestic industry from dumped or subsidized imports.
Also called
injury to domestic industry
threat of injury
Key points
- The CITT considers whether dumped or subsidized goods caused injury or threaten injury.
- Factors can include prices, market share, sales, profits, employment, capacity, and other industry indicators.
- Dumping or subsidizing alone is not enough for final duties without the injury requirement.
- Injury findings can shape whether provisional trade measures become lasting duties.
Why it comes up
A finding of injury is usually required before anti-dumping or countervailing duties become final.
