in many cases below their cost which was dumping, there may not have been a law initially against this. There wasn't. The US anti-dumping laws were passed to stop it. And those provisions are now part of the WT We enacted some kind of laws like that in the late 80s which resulted in the Nummi plant and others so japanese cars are now made here. They used to not be. Yes. I'm not certain what WTO provisions on this are. Do these laws still exist? Anti-dumping? Absolutely. In a famous (on SI among Canadians at least) dispute, the US is charging Canada with dumping lumber onto US markets. Canada denies it. I haven't followed it recently; it may have been settled by now. Anti dumping laws do but what about the requirement to manufacture what you sell. If such a provision is strictly enforced by all countries you can forget international trade. And bring the Great Depression.
