Abstract

One of the continuing challenges of multilateral trade is having in place laws and practices which enable national authorities to deal with the problem of dumping, and at the same time ensuring that these laws and practices are consistent with the rules of the World Trade Organisation (WTO). The WTO was established as an institution that regulates trade among member countries, and which sets rules to guide actions by national authorities against certain activities such as “dumping”, which are against its mantra in favour of open trade relations and breaching protective barriers to trade. South Africa is a founding member of the WTO and is also one of the first 23 contracting parties of the General agreement of trade and tariffs of 1947 (GATT 1947), which over an incremental period of time assumed the dubious position of being both an agreement on trade issues and a de facto international trade institution.
