Now, the high-profile antidumping and countervailingduty cases recently initiated against solar panels from China are shining some fresh light on this outrage.
They want to subject imports from China to the U.S. countervailingduty law, as well as to the most punitive calculation methodologies available under the U.S. antidumping law.
Unlike the antidumping and countervailingduty laws, a Section 421 case does not include allegations of prices at less than fair value or prices that benefit from countervailable government subsidies.
The United States also has a CountervailingDuty law, which for 22 years up until 2007 had not been applied to imports from countries that, for purposes of the antidumping law, were deemed NMEs.
