The International Trade Policies Department of the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Trade (hereinafter referred to as the “Department” or the “Investigating Authority”) is responsible for administering the Egyptian anti-dumping law. The law provides a mechanism for maintaining fair levels of import competition for Egyptian producers when dumping causes material injury or threatens to cause material injury to an established Egyptian industry. The law reflects Egypt’s obligations under the World Trade Organisation (WTO) Anti-Dumping Agreement.

As this information is usually supplied by the Egyptian applicant, it is considered necessary that your company be given the opportunity to respond so that a fair investigation can be conducted.
