The Vietnamese pangasius industry has faced AD measures imposed by the USA. This dispute between the USA and Vietnam is known as the "Catfish War". In the estimation, the paper found that although the anti-dumping taxes imposed on Vietnam pangasius, it is not so seriously problematic for exporters in the long-term.

Chien-Huei Wu: Abstract This article  uses the EU’s decision to simultaneously impose anti-dumping and countervailing duties against Chinese coated fine papers as a case study to illustrate the complexities involved in EU’s trade defence regime against products originating from nonmarket  economies.  Four  specific issues  are dealt with: analogue country, market economy treatment, individual treatment and double remedy. In examining  the reasonableness of the European Commission’s choice of the analogue country, this article develops a two-step approach, firstly against the Basic AD Regulation and secondly against Article X:3 of the GATT 1994.  In view of the positive results of the request for individual treatment, this article argues that the EU may pass the  ―as applied‖ complainant in the WTO dispute settlement  mechanism. With regard to the proposed amendment to the Basic AD Regulation, it may also pass the ―as such‖ complaint. In light of the fact that the EU is a third party taking the same position as the respondent in US  –  Anti-Dumping and Countervailing  Duties,  this article explores the rationale behind the Commission’s determination to impose concurrent anti-dumping and countervailing duties since one single anti-dumping duty may provide sufficient level of protection.

Xiaojin Wang, Michael ReedAbstract We empirically test whether the investigation and impositions of U.S. antidumping duties in 2004  on  imported  shrimp  distorts a  named  country's exports to third markets. We constructs a panel of bilateral, disaggregated product-level data for annual trade flows of subjected shrimp  between the six named countries (Brazil, China, Ecuador, India, Thailand, and Vietnam) and  four major importers (EU, Indonesia, Japan, and Malaysia) between 1999 and 2010.  Our results show that named countries’ trade flows were reoriented to other destination markets when U.S. anti-dumping duties were levied against their shrimp products.
