Dentons launches anti-dumping tool

Dentons has launched an interactive tool that puts key aspects of global anti-dumping laws at the users’ fingertips, allowing for quick, customizable comparisons across multiple jurisdictions.

Leveraging Dentons’ global platform and award-winning commitment to technological innovation, the Firm launched this innovative, free platform to allow corporate leaders to create customized user-friendly comparisons of the laws.

Selecting from a list of 10 jurisdictions, with plans to expand, users can quickly learn about, compare and contrast laws from up to three countries, across a list of 28 key points, including:

Who can bring a complaint
How are export prices and dumping margins determined
Preliminary inquiries
Questionnaire requirements and verifications
How is injury determined
Sampling techniques used by authorities
Cumulation & multiple countries
The level of de minimus thresholds
Treatment of related parties
Investigation periods
Undertaking & suspension agreements
Confidentiality of proceedings
Public interest considerations
Interim reviews and extensions of duties

The results of each individual search can easily be shared by email or on social media, and include the appropriate Dentons contact for follow-up support. The tool is also available for smartphone use. Anticipating client need and creating value-added, practical tools for clients were the drivers behind the development of the user-friendly, online platform.

For more information on this tool, please reach out to one of the key contacts or any member of our global Trade, WTO and Customs group.
