Overview: For decades, the U.S. antidumping law has been abused by domestic industries seeking protection from foreign competition. The surge in new cases reflects the proliferation of antidumping laws in the developing world. The U.S. government continues to resist calls for antidumping reform in international trade negotiations. That opposition reflects the strong political support for the U.S. antidumping law on the part of protectionist U.S. industries. Downstream import-using industries and American consumers are left to suffer; now, with the worldwide spread of antidumping protectionism, so are U.S. exporters. The focus of the article is on realizing that the dangers of the proliferation of antidumping measures should provide a wakeup call for U.S. policymakers: it is time to get serious about antidumping reform.
