This the following study will assess the current anti-dumping regulatory framework in Zimbabwe with the aim of highlighting the importance of anti-dumping regulatory framework. Anti-dumping regulations are a form of trade remedies offered by the World Trade Organisation (WTO) under Article VI of the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs 1994. Trade remedies allow member of the WTO to take remedial action against any import that are causing material injury to their domestic industries. These measures are usually applied to measure that governments can impliment in three specific cases that are provided for under the aforementioned Article, often referred to as the Anti-Dumping Agreement, and the other remedies are found under the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures, and the Agreement on Safeguards. In today’s trading climate where free trade areas, such as the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), are being embraced more than ever, there needs to be a greater emphasis on the importance of protecting domestic industries from imports that may cause them injury upon entering their domestic markets. In recent years Zimbabwe has been faced an increase in imported goods. This is a result of a few different factors. Among these factors is the political elite in the country who have vested interest in close economic relationships with China at the cost of the interest of the people of Zimbabwe. Another factor that has been observed as contributing to the influx of imported goods is their foreign country’s ability to dump their products with ease in the Zimbabwean market, flouting of rules of origin, porosity of borders, corruption, trade liberalisation and a lack of a competitive industry. With this in mind it is apparent that there is a need for Zimbabwean industries to be protected from these goods that may cause injury to their prosperity. Thus, this study will attempt to support those industries by providing empirical evidence that Zimbabwean industries are under threat of injury or have been injured by imported goods. / Mini Dissertation (LLM)--University of Pretoria, 2021. / Centre for Human Rights / LLM / Unrestricted

After joining in the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Taiwan¡¦s steel import tariff has been comprehensively reduced to almost nil customs duties (duty-free) since the year 2004. As a result of overwhelming importation of steel products and continuous investment in enhancing and enlarging output capabilities made by local steel manufacturers, the domestic steel markets are showing a tendency to a surplus status of supply over demand. However, due to the increasingly strong demand of steel materials made by the China mainland in the recent years, it has been not only greatly helped put off the execution of the world-wide scattered anti-dumping trade remedy assistance measures since the year 2000, but also benefited the domestic major steel manufacturers adjusting and improving their market structure and profit advantages in time. This enables the local steel producers to gradually enlarge their export quantity and aggressively expand their steel output on China mainland in the meantime. While the steel industries are boomingly developing, the international steel prices are rising and the steel market bargains are boosting, I am firmly confident that only the steel enterprises are able to concentrate their attention on what the anti-dumping measures formulated by WTO are stated, and to take appropriate dealing actions in the meantime, the competitive edge will be able to be elevated by the domestic steel producers. Therefore, to immediately setup information system on the forecast of dumping prediction and the knowledge of anti-dumping measures is a prerequisite to facilitate enhancing the enterprise¡¦s competitive edge and superiority. The results of this research are made into two fields on the application of a dumping prediction about the coated/galvanized plate steel products. i.e. (1) In line with the WTO regulations and the US anti-dumping law, I have made various collection concerning the information of law articles, dumping items, documents as well as miscellaneous information and have combined them into one consolidated concept to construct an up-dated dumping pre-warning alarm system. (2) Further study was made on the pre-warning subject concerning price negotiations and price finalizations of the S company¡¦s marketing department between the phases of order reception and goods issue. The result I discovered is that it is critically important for the enterprise to systematically pin down and appropriately structure its sales prices in advance and timely notice the pre-warning alarm measures in linking with the marketing model team before the entrepreneur is facing an international anti-dumping complaint or accusation in this regard.

This thesis consists of two studies on the impacts of U.S. antidumping investigations on Chinese exporters. In the first essay, using monthly transaction data covering all Chinese exporters over the period 2000-2006, we investigate how Chinese exporters respond to U.S. antidumping investigations. We find that antidumping investigations cause a substantial decrease in the total export volume at the HS-6 digit product level, and that this trade-dampening effect is due to a significant decrease in the number of exporters yet a modest decrease in the export volume per surviving exporter. We also find that the bulk of the decrease in the number of exporters is exerted by less productive exporters, by direct exporters as opposed to trade intermediaries, and by single-product direct exporters as opposed to their multi-product counterparts. Combined with the existing studies on the impacts of antidumping investigations on protected firms, our study helps piece together a complete picture of the impact of antidumping investigations. In the second study of this thesis, using the same China Customs Data, we empirically investigate the effects of U.S. antidumping measures on the export product scope and product mix of Chinese multi-product direct exporters. We find that exporters experiencing antidumping measures would reduce their overall export product scope. Specifically, the affected exporters drop many of the pre-existing export products from their unaffected HS-2 industries, and diversify some new products into its downstream industries of the affected HS-2 industry. The overall export value of the new product mix does not change. / published_or_final_version / Business / Doctoral / Doctor of Philosophy
