Rethinking the "like product" definition in WTO antidumping law

Article Abstract:

The determination of a 'like product' category forms a crucial part of every antidumping investigation. However, the GATT provides few rules as to how such categories of 'like products' are defined. Consequently, some terms take on different meanings in different contexts, leading to irreconciliable results. A good example would be the 'Liquor Taxes' case, where the Panels and the Appellate Body were asked to properly analyze the determination of the 'like products' determination in relation to Article III:2 of the GATT which covers discriminatory taxes.

Antidumping and the WTO - implications for China

Article Abstract:

China has enacted a series of antidumping laws and pledged to establish its own antidumping institution. A scrutiny of these laws would indicate that the best option for the country is not to implement its legislation or to scrap it altogether. However, since the laws are already in place, the issue confronting the Chinese government is how best to avoid or mitigate the potential adverse effects and protectionist biases that may arise from the enforcement of those laws.
