Anti Dumping
TKAO provides reliable support for practical operations related to anti-dumping applications aimed at protecting domestic industries from harm caused by dumping, based on our understanding of the regulatory framework.
Anti-dumping (“AD”) frameworks are a trade remedy measure aimed at protecting domestic industries, and are internationally recognized under the WTO Agreements. They make it possible to impose additional duties (anti-dumping duties) on products imported from foreign countries, when it is judged that the product is being sold at a price that is unfairly lower than the price it would normally be sold at in the exporting country (“dumping price”), and that domestic industries are being harmed as a result.
In Japan, a mechanism is in place where the Ministry of Finance (MOF) and Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) will jointly investigate and impose anti-dumping duties where necessary, pursuant to Article 8 of the Customs Tariff Act and related Cabinet Orders, etc. Private-sector companies and industry bodies are mainly responsible for applications, in principle, and applications must satisfy the three conditions of “existence of dumping,” “substantive harm to domestic industries,” and “cause-and-effect relationship between these factors.”
Applicants must prepare proof that dumping is occurring, data to back up claims of harm, and a “written application for duties” that demonstrates the cause-and-effect relationship between these factors. The investigating authorities will examine the accuracy and reasonableness of the materials submitted, complete an investigation within one year (up to 18 months at most), in principle, and make a final decision on the case. In principle, anti-dumping duties are imposed for five years, but may be extended.
In our anti-dumping services, TKAO provides practical support to companies and bodies considering applications for anti-dumping duties, including summarizing information and preparing materials necessary for the application and advice on interpretation of the regulatory framework. We provide peripheral support from an expert perspective for tasks related to applications, which require an understanding of the regulatory framework and an enormous amount of work, to ensure that applicants are able to submit applications based on their own judgment and responsibility.
We provide complete support throughout the process of preparing applications, including document structure in line with official formats and guidelines, as well as the identification and summarization of necessary data, and structuring of arguments.
We have a deep understanding of the structure of the regulatory framework and application requirements, as well as precedents and trends in investigations. We can offer practical support in line with the operation of the regulatory framework.
We propose information summarization and methods of coordination that span multiple departments, including sales, production, and accounting, while also ensuring the consistency of data required for the application.
We have a structure in place that enables related parties to complete the process with peace of mind, through the provision of the necessary environment and information foundations for applications.

■Support for document creation from a practical perspective
We offer review and editorial proposals to ensure that submitted documents are persuasive and consistent, not just satisfying regulatory requirements.
■Support system that is aware of internal coordination
Taking into consideration the participation of multiple departments, we mitigate the burden of preparing applications for applicants through data summarization methods and clarification of arguments.
■Advisory services from the perspective of regulatory framework interpretation
We make proposals from various perspectives, to facilitate the creation of an application strategy that takes into account the intent, background, and logical structure of the anti-dumping regulatory framework.
At TKAO, we endeavor to provide support from a big picture perspective, to ensure applicants’ efforts proceed strategically and without issue.
As part of efforts to ensure the regulatory framework is used appropriately, we have built a flexible system to support the necessary preparation and judgments, and will reliably support activities related to applications.
