Enter this text:

Anti-dumping duty is an import duty charged in addition to normal Customs Duty and is applied in the UK and across the whole EU. It’s designed to allow the UK and EU to take action against goods that are sold at less than their normal value – that being defined as the price for ‘like goods’ sold in the exporter’s home market.

HTML attachment

Although measures contain technical information you should be able to get a general understanding about what they are for - go back to the subject matter expert if you think a measure does not make sense or is unclear.

Check any hyperlinks in the business draft. Contact the subject matter expert to get correct details if any links:

  • point to the home page of the EurLex website, rather than the page containing the relevant legislation
  • go directly to a PDF (or other file), rather than the webpage that houses it
