ABSTRACT

Korea's proposal is based on a careful study of the Anti-Dumping Code, national legislation and practices. Despite the preamble to the Code which states that Anti-Dumping practices should not constitute an unjustifiable impediment to international trade, the practices in many countries are marked by the creation of real trade barriers. The parameters extended to the expression "introduced into the commerce of another country" is central to the effective interpretation of the Anti-Dumping Code and should be subject to discussion and resolution. The practice of accumulating imports from numerous countries in antidumping proceedings may be unnecessarily restrictive and may unfairly deprive individual exporting countries of a meaningful injury determination based upon the impact of their own trade practices. The Anti-Dumping Code provides that it must be demonstrated that the dumped imports are, through the effects of dumping, causing injury.
