 PART III:  "ANTI-DUMPING" 
 Section 1:  "Dumping Calculations" 
 
Article 32 
 
- Dumping  is the introduction of a product into Egypt at an export price which is less than its 
normal value in the ordinary course of trade. 
 
- Export price  shall be the price paid or payable by the importer other than any part of the 
price that represents: 
 
 (i) Costs, charges, and expenses incurred in  preparing the goods for shipment to Egypt 
that are additional to those costs, charg es, and expenses generally incurred on sales 
for home consumption;  and 
  (ii) Any other costs, charges, and expen ses resulting from the exportation of the goods or 
arising from their shipment from the country of export. 
 
- Normal value  shall be the price paid for the like goods in the ordinary course of trade for 
home consumption in the country of origin/expor t or the cost of production plus the selling, 
general and administrative costs in addition to the amount of profit normally realized on sales of goods or the price at which the like product is exported to a third country. 
 
 The Investigating Authority may construct th e normal value for goods originating in or 
exported from a state-economy country or on the basis of the data of a free-economy country with similar conditions or on any ot her basis it deems appropriate. 
 
Article 33  
  In cases where there is no export price for the product concerned or where it appears to the 
Investigating Authority that the export price is unreliable because of association, relationship or a 
compensatory agreement between exporter and the importer or a third party, the export price may be calculated on the basis of the selling price to the firs t independent buyer in the domestic market or any 
other basis the authority deems appropriate. 
 
Article 34  
 
 The normal value shall be constructed according to the cost of production in the country of 
origin plus an appropriate amount for selling, general and administrative costs and a reasonable 
margin of profit, or according to the export price of the goods to a third country in the following 
cases: 
 1. Where there are no sales in the domestic market of the country of export or where domestic 
sales are made at a loss. 
 
2. Where domestic sales of the subject goods account for less than  5 per cent of the export sales 
to Egypt.

G/SCM/N/1/EGY/2/Rev.1 G/SG/N/1/EGY/2 
Page 14 
  
 Article 35  
 
 In cases where there is insufficient data to determ ine the export price or the normal value, the 
Investigating Authority may determine them on th e basis of the best information available. 
 
Article 36  
 
 The margin of dumping  is the difference between the nor mal value and the export price. 
 
 In calculating the margin of dumping, the Inv estigating Authority shall make the calculations 
on the same level of trade for as nearly as possibl e the same period, taking into consideration the 
factors which affect price compar ability pursuant to the provisions of Article 2.4 of the Anti-Dumping 
Agreement. 
 
Article 37  
 
 The Investigating Authority shall calculate a separate margin of dumping for each exporter.  
The highest margin of dumping shall be im posed on the unknown or non-cooperative exporters. 
 
 If the number of exporters is large, the Inves tigating Authority may limit the investigation to a 
representative sample in which case the margin  of dumping shall be applied as follows: 
 1. Individual margins of dumping or the weight ed average of these margin s shall be applied to 
the representative sample of exporters. 
 
2. The weighted average of the dumping margin s calculated for the representative sample of 
exporters shall be applied to the coopera tive exporters not included in the sample. 
 3. The highest dumping margin shall be app lied to the unknown or non-cooperative exporters. 
 
Article 38  
 
 The Investigating Authority shall prepare a report to recommend the termination of the 
investigation in the following cases:  
 (a) If the volume of dumped imports from a partic ular country is less than 3 per cent of 
the volume of imports of the subject goods unless countries which individually account for less than 3 per cent of the total imports of the like product collectively account for more than 7 per cent of the total imports. 
  (b) If the margin of dumping is less than 2 per cent of the export price. 
 
Section 2:  "Determination of Injury"  
 
Article 39  
  The Investigating Authority, having examin ed all positive evidence, shall determine the 
material injury suffered by the domestic industry and shall verify the following:   G/ADP/N/1/EGY/2/Rev.1

 Page 15 
  
 1. Existence of significant increase in dumped im ports, either in absolute terms or relative to 
production or consumption in Egypt.  With re gard to the effect of the dumped imports on 
prices the authority shall consider: 
 
 (a) Whether there has been a significant pr ice undercutting by the dumped imports as 
compared with the price of the domestic like product. 
  (b) Whether the effect of such imports is  to depress prices of the like product to a 
significant degree, or 
  (c) Whether the effect of such imports is to prevent price increases which otherwise 
would have occurred. 
 
2. The economic effects of the dumped imports  on the domestic industry reflected in the 
following:

 The Investigating Authority shall verify that the injury suffered by the industry is caused by 
the dumped imports and not due to any other causes. 
 
Article 42  
 
 The Investigating Authority shall, on receiving an application of dumped imports that led to 
materially retard a new industry, evaluate the cont ents of the application and prepare a report with 
their recommendations on it.  
Article 43  
  Where imports of a product from more than one country are simultaneously subject to anti-
dumping investigations, the Investigating Author ity may cumulatively assess the effects of such 
imports only if they determine that:  1. The margin of dumping established in relation to the imports from each country is 2 per cent 
or more of the export price.

price of their exports to Egypt.  Price increases under such undertakings shall not be higher than 
necessary to eliminate the margin of dumping est ablished by the Investigating Authority.   
 
 In accepting, rejecting or amending undertaki ngs the following issues shall be taken into 
consideration:  1. The possibility to suspend or terminate proceed ings, if such undertakings are accepted and if 
the Investigating Authority finds these undertakin gs sufficient to eliminate the margin of 
dumping unless the exporters ask to continue the investigation. 
 2. Informing the exporters in case of rejection a nd the reasons for that rejection if practicable. 
 3. The Investigating Authority may also requi re any exporter from whom an undertaking has 
been accepted to periodically provide informa tion relevant to the fulfilment of such an 
undertaking and to permit verification of pertinent data. 
 
Article 49  
 
 Subject to the provisions of section 7 of this pa rt, price undertakings shall be maintained for a

 Where a determination of threat of injury or material retardation is made (but no injury has 
yet occurred) a definitive anti-dumping duty shall not be imposed retroactively. 
 
Article 54  
 
 A definitive anti-dumping duty may be levi ed on products whic h were entered for 
consumption not more than 90 days prior to the date  of application of provisional measures, when the 
Investigating Authority determines that:  (a) There is a history of dumping which caused injury or that the importer was aware or should 
have been aware that the exporter practiced  dumping and that such dumping would cause 
injury, and 
 
(b) The injury is caused by increased dumped imports of a product in a relatively short time 
which is likely to seriously undermine the reme dial effect of the definitive anti-dumping duty 
to be applied, provided that the importers concerned have been given an opportunity to 
comment. 
 
Section 7:  "Review of Definitive Anti-Dumping Duties" 
 
Article 55 
 
 The Investigating Authority may, after one year from the date of imposition of definitive anti-
dumping measures, review the need for the conti nued imposition of the duty, where warranted, upon 
request by any interested party which submits positive information substantiating the need for a 
review.   If, as a result of the review, the Investigati ng Authority determines that the definitive anti-
dumping duty is no longer warranted it sh all be terminated immediately. 
  If, as a result of the review, there is a need to impose definitive duties, they may be imposed 
for no more than five years from the date of the most recent review.   G/ADP/N/1/EGY/2/Rev.1

of any scheme, programme, practice, or thing done, provided, or implemented by a foreign 
government, but does not include the amount of any duty or internal tax imposed on goods by the Government of the country of origin or country  of export from which the goods, because of their 
exportation from the country of export or country of origin, have been exempted or will be relieved by 
means of refund or drawback. 
  Measures can be taken against subsidy only if it confers a benefit on the recipient, is directed or specific to certain enterprises or industries and causes material injury or  threat thereof to the

 5. The amount of the subsidy does not include:    (a) the provision of equity capital by a foreign government unless the investment 
decision in relation to the provision of that equity can be regarded as 
inconsistent with the usual investment  practice of private investors in the 
territory of the exporting country; 
   (b) the provision of a loan by a foreign government unless the amount that the 
recipient of the loan pays under the lo an is less than the amount that the 
recipient would pay under a comparable commercial loan that the recipient 
would obtain on the market, in which case,  the benefit to the recipient shall be 
deemed to be the difference between those two amounts; 
   (c) the provision of a loan guarantee by a foreign government unless the amount 
that the recipient of the loan pays u nder the government guaranteed loan is less 
than the amount that the recipient would pay under a comparable commercial 
loan that was not so guaranteed, in whic h case, the benefit of the recipient shall 
be deemed to be the difference between those two amounts. 
  The Investigating Authority shall establish the amount of the subsidy according to the reliable 
available data if it does not have sufficient data to verify the amount of the subsidy. 
 
Article 60  
 
 The Investigating Authority shall prepare a report recommending the termination of an
