To successfully navigate SACU anti-dumping investigations effectively, exporters and their overseas law firms  should understand the process, gather specific data, and engage proactively with ITAC. We provide expert advice and guidance in this regard. 

— Providing local representation and handling administrative related matters with the investigating authority

Local representation ensures that the interests of exporters and their overseas representatives are adequately considered in the anti-dumping process. Moreover, this will help in ensuring that the process is fair, transparent, and effective.

— Material injury analysis

In an anti-dumping investigation, material injury analysis determines if dumped imports are causing, or threatening to cause, significant harm to a domestic industry. This involves examining factors like volume and price effects of dumped imports, and their impact on the domestic industry’s production, sales, market share, and employment. Trade Solutions assists in conducting an in-depth analysis of the material injury allegations.

— Assistance in the verification

Exporter  verification refers to the process of confirming the accuracy and reliability of information provided by exporters during an anti-dumping investigation. This verification helps determine if dumping, is occurring and causing harm to the domestic industry. Knowing what is required and what to lookout for is vital. Having done many verifications over the years, we can guide overseas law firms responding to SACU trade remedy investigations.
