U.S. Import Relief to Domestic Industries

The U.S. trade policy is based on combating unfairly traded imports. There are regulations in place to provide relief to domestic producers that are adversely affected by imports that benefit from government subsidies in home countries or are dumped at low prices in the U.S. market. The U.S. rules are largely consistent with the WTO’s terms.
