On 28 April 2026, the World Trade Organization (WTO) Committee on Anti-Dumping Practices met to review members’ latest notifications of new, amended or previously reviewed anti-dumping laws and regulations, as well as reports on anti-dumping actions.
The committee reviewed new notifications of legislation submitted by Botswana. It also continued its review of the legislative notifications of Cambodia, the European Union (EU), Liberia, Saint Kitts and Nevis and the Solomon Islands.
In reviewing semi-annual notifications on anti-dumping actions, delegations questioned and discussed the practices of other members, including the initiation of investigations, the imposition of provisional and final anti-dumping measures and the review of existing anti-dumping measures. In this respect, delegations questioned and discussed the actions contained in the semi-annual reports submitted by Australia, Brazil, Canada, the People’s Republic of China, the EU, India, Indonesia, Korea, Mexico, Pakistan and Viet Nam.
Forty-eight members notified the committee of anti-dumping actions taken in the period covering 01 July 2025 to 31 December 2025, while 16 reported no new anti-dumping actions in this period. In addition, 46 members submitted one-time notifications indicating that they have not established an authority competent to initiate and conduct an investigation and that they have not, to date, taken any anti-dumping actions. The chair of the committee welcomed members’ continued use of the anti-dumping portal to submit their semi-annual reports. It urged those who had not submitted them to do so promptly.
In addition to the semi-annual reports, the WTO’s Anti-Dumping Agreement requires members to submit, without delay and on an ad hoc basis, notifications of all preliminary and final anti-dumping actions taken. Ad hoc notifications reviewed during the meeting were received from Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China the Dominican Republic, the EU, Georgia, Iceland, Japan, Kazakhstan, Korea, the Kyrgyz Republic, Mexico, Morocco, Pakistan, the Philippines, the Russian Federation, South Africa, Chinese Taipei (Taiwan), Türkiye, Ukraine, the United Kingdom (UK), the United States of America and Viet Nam. In this context, concerns were raised about anti-dumping actions by Mexico and India. The chair urged members to submit ad hoc notifications of actions taken without delay.
