Anti-Dumping Checker

Anti-dumping (AD) and countervailing (CVD) duties are product- and origin-specific extra duties — often 20–100%+ — imposed after an investigation finds dumped or subsidised imports injuring local industry. There is no single world list: you must check the importing country's own measures database. This page shows you exactly how.

The 5-step check (any market)

1. Pin down the HS code — measures are defined by tariff heading plus a product description. Start with our HS Code Lookup.
2. Identify the investigating authority of the importing market (DGTR for India, the European Commission for the EU, Commerce/ITC for the US, TRA for the UK…).
3. Search its measures database by product keyword, HS code and origin country. Check definitive measures in force, not just initiations.
4. Read the measure itself — duties are usually company-specific (named exporters get individual rates; everyone else gets the higher "residual/all-others" rate), and some exporters have price undertakings instead.
5. Check for ongoing cases and reviews — new investigations, sunset (expiry) reviews and anti-circumvention cases can change the position within months. If a case is open, provisional duties can appear mid-shipment.

Official databases (free)

• WTO — Anti-dumping gateway and the I-TIP database of members' notified measures (good cross-country overview; the national source is authoritative).
• India — Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) for investigations and findings; the duty itself is imposed by a Ministry of Finance customs notification (check CBIC).
• European Union — TRON trade-defence investigations and the Commission's trade-defence pages; measures in force also show per TARIC line.
• United States — US ITC trade remedy (injury side), Commerce/ITA AD-CVD with case filings on ACCESS, and CBP's active AD/CVD case search for live deposit rates.
• United Kingdom — Trade Remedies Authority public case list.

Honest note: this page deliberately quotes no duty rates or case outcomes — they change and are company-specific. Always read the current official notification for your exact product, origin and exporter, and get customs-broker or counsel advice before pricing a deal.
