U.S. companies adversely affected by unfair imports may seek antidumping (AD) duties. China is classified as a non-market economy (NME) & a special methodology is used that is believed to produce AD duty rates that are higher than those applied to market economies. In light of increased concern about China's trade practices, a review was conducted by efforts of U.S. gov't. agencies responsible for ensuring free & fair trade with China. This report: (1) explains the NME methodology; (2) analyzes AD duties applied to China & compares them with duties applied to market economies; & (3) explains circumstances in which the U.S. would stop applying its NME methodology to China & evaluates the potential impact of such a step. Charts & tables.
