Anti-dumping duty
Anti-dumping duty is an additional duty imposed by the European Commission on certain imports from certain countries to the EU. It is generally charged at very high rates to deter those particular goods being imported. It is intended to protect Community industry from unfair cheap competition from overseas, but it also often hits innocent importers.
