Abstract

Antidumping (AD) law and policy is concerned with fair trading among World Trade

Organisation. However, it has been known to be used as protection policy. Article II of  Agreement  on  implementation  of  Article  VI  of  GATT  1994  provides  significant discretions  to  national  investigating  authorities  in  investigating  AD  actions.  Positive outcome of AD cases is predictable. The current paper contributes to AD literature by investigating  the  discretions  provided  in  accounting  principles  point  of  view.  The findings  indicate  that  there  is  a  great  range  of  accounting  principles  relevant  to  the computation  of  exported  price,  normal  value  and  dumping-margin.  Each  of  the accounting principles identified provides a different product cost.
