Tricks of the Trade:
How the Import Administration Picks the Consumer's Pocket

U.S. anti-dumping law is administered, in part, by the U.S. Import Administration (IA), an agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce. The grey areas of this law are routinely exploited by the IA to favor those American companies and industries seeking protection from foreign competition. Unfortunately, not only does the I.A. occasionally violate the law in doing this, it fails to consider the impact on downstream consuming industries and retail consumers. As a result we Americans often pay more for imported raw materials and finished products than we should. Join us for a discussion of the IA's procedures and possible solutions to the problems in implementing U.S. anti-dumping law. Our panelists include:
