Abstract

The imposition of preliminary anti-dumping duty on shrimp imports had once again focused the world''s attention on the anti-dumping practices of America. The US Commerce Department imposed duties on shrimp imports from many third world countries including China and India. The measure was severely criticised by the affected countries and they decided to fight against the irrational protectionist policies of the US. This case study helps students in understanding the impact of anti-dumping duties on the shrimp exporting countries. A structured assignment ''204-165-4'' is available to accompany this case.
