Chapter II. Antidumping Measures  
Article 6  
Basis for Application of an Antidumping Measure  
Antidumping measure against an investigated product may be imposed by the Government of 
Georgia in case if the investigating authority, based on the investigation, determines that there is a 
dumped import of the investigated product, domestic industry suffered an injury or exists the th reat 
of injury and there is a casual link between the injury and the dumped import.  
Article 7  
Determination of Dumping  
 1. Investigated product shall be considered dumped if it is introduced into the domestic market 
at a price , which is less than its norma l value . 
 2. Sales capacity of the like investigated product  in the ordinary course of trade, which is 
destined for the consumption on domestic  market of exporting country, shall be considered as 
sufficient capacity to determine the normal value, if these sales shall compose 5% or more of the 
sales of investigated product on the customs territory of Georgia.  Lower sales capacity of the like 
investigated product in the ordinary course of trade shall be considered sufficient to determine the 
normal value, if there is clear evidence that such capacity enables to determine the comparable 
price. 
3. When there are no sales or insufficient volume of sales of the like investigated product in 
the ordinary course of trade in the domestic market of the exporting countr y, or when such sales do 
not permit a proper comparison because of the particular market situation, the normal value of the 
investigated product shall be established on the basis of:  
a) A comparable price of the like product when exported to an appropriate  third country on 
the conditon  that the rule of calculation of this price is illustrative as to the type of product so 
to the quantities of contracts;  
b) The cost of production in the country of origin plus a reasonable amount for administrative, 
sales and  general costs and for profits.  
Article 8  
Determination of the normal value in the non -market economy countries  
 In case of import of the investigated product form those countries where there is no market 
economy, the normal value shall be determined based  on: 
a) The comparable price paid, in the ordinary course of trade, for sales of the like product 
when destined for consumption in an appropriate market economy country;  
b) The comparable price paid, in the ordinary course of trade, for exports of the like  product 
from an appropriate market economy country to other countries, including Georgia;  
c) When under subparagraphs "a" and "b" of this Article, it is impossible to determine the 
normal value, it can be determined based on the price actually paid or pay able in Georgia for 
the domestic like product, duly adjusted if necessary to include a profit margin.  G/ADP/N/1/GEO/2

  Article 9  
Sales below cost  
 1. Sales of the like investigated product in the domestic market of the exporting country or 
sales to a third country at prices below per unit costs of production plus administrative, sales and 
general costs may be treated as not being in the ordinary course of trade by reason of price and 
may be disregarded in determining normal value only if the authorities determine that such sales 
are: 
a) made for over 6 month  period;  
b) In substantial quantities and  
c) At prices which do not provide for the recovery of all costs within a reasonable time.  
 2. The sales below cost shall be considered as made in substantial quantities when the 
Investigating Authority establishes that:  
(a) The weighted average sales price of the transactions under consideration for the 
determination of the normal value is below the weighted average cost;  
(b) The volume of sales below cost represents 20  percent or  more of the volume sold in 
transactions under consideration for the determination of the normal value.  
 3. If prices which are below cost at the time of sales are above the weighted average cost for 
the period of investigation, the Investigating Authority  shall consider such prices as providing for 
recovery of costs within a reasonable period of time.  
Article 10  
Total Costs  
The amounts for administrative, sales and general costs and for profits shall base on actual data 
pertaining to production and sales i n the ordinary course of trade of the like product by the exporter 
or producer under investigation. When such amounts cannot be determined on this basis, the 
amounts may be determined on the basis of following criteria:  
a) the actual amounts incurred and r ealized by the exporter or producer in question in respect 
of production and sales in the domestic market of the country of origin of the same general 
category of products;  
b) The weighted average of the actual amounts incurred and realized by other export ers or 
producers subject to investigation in respect of production and sales of the like product in the 
domestic market of the country of origin;  
c) Any other reasonable method, if the amount for profit so established shall not exceed the 
profit normally r ealized by other exporters or producers on sales of products of the same 
general category in the domestic market of the country of origin.  
Article 11  
Export Price  
 1. Export price shall mean the price actually paid or payble  to the investigated product dur ing 
the sales from the exporting country.  G/ADP/N/1/GEO/2  
 
- 6 - 
 
   2. In cases where there is no information on export price or where it appears to the 
investigating authority that the export price is unreliable because of interrelationship between the 
exporter and the importer, also each are related to the third party, the export price may be 
constructed on the basis of:  
a) the price at which the imported products are first resold to an independent buyer;  
b) any reasonable basis as the investigating authority may determine, if the products are not 
resold to an independent buyer, or not resold in the condition as imported in the customs 
territory of Georgia.  
3. In case when normal value is determined based on the country of origin, the export price of the 
investigat ed product is calculated based on the price on which the investigated product was sold in 
the country of origin when destined for the export.  
Article 12  
Price Regulation  
 1. The comparison between the export price and normal value is based on the principle  of 
impartiality. This type of comparison is conducted at the same stage of trade operations, ususally 
during being transported out -of factory, while with respect to sales, at the same most possible time. 
In each case, the proper attention is given to tho se differences affecting the price comparisons, 
including the differences among sales conditions, timeframes, taxation, trade operation stages, 
quantities, physical characteristics and any other differences having impact on price comparisons. 
In the given circumstances, the due consideration is granted to costs, duties and taxes paid, and 
profits, in the period between imports and resales.  
 2. If in these cases there are certain impact on price comparisons, the investigating authority 
shall determine the no rmal value on the stage of trade operation, which is in line the stage whereto 
the export price is constructed, or takes into consideration the respective corrections given in the 
above paragraph. The investigative authority indicates to the interested par ties on what type of 
information is necessary to ensure the impartial comparison.  
Article 13  
Methods of Comparison  
 1. The margin of dumping is normally established by the comparison of product normal value 
weighted average to the weighted average of prices of all comparable export transactions or by a 
comparison of normal value and export prices on a transaction -to-transaction basis.  
 2. A normal value established on a weighted average basis may be compared to prices of 
individual export transactions if the Investigating Authority finds a pattern of export prices, which 
differs significantly among different purchasers, regions or times. In such circumstances, the 
investigating authority defines the reasons for non -consideration of such differences duri ng the 
comparison of weighted average to weighted average and transaction -to-transaction.  
Article 14  
Determination of Injury  
 1. Determination of injury to the domestic market and the causal link shall base on the volume 
of the dumped imports, the effect o f the dumped imports on the prices in the domestic markets for 
like investigated product and the consequent impact of these imports on domestic producers of such 
products.  
 2. The determination of a threat of injury shall base on facts, and not merely on a llegation 
and conjecture, that the change in circumstances, which would create a situation in which the 
dumping would cause injury must be clearly foreseen and imminent.  G/ADP/N/1/GEO/2  
 
- 7 - 
 
   3. The Investigating Authority besides the dumped imports, shall consider other known  
factors, which at the same time cause injury to the domestic industry. If the domestic industry 
suffers injury from other independent factors alongside with dumping import, the injury caused by 
these factors shall not relate to the dumped import.  
Article  15 
Application of Provisional Antidumping Tariff  
Provisional measures may be applied only if:  
a) an investigation has been initiated in accordance with the provisions of Article 20 of this Law, 
a public notice has been given to that effect and interested part ies have been given an 
adequate opportunities to submit information and make comments;  
b) investigating authority, during the investigation, determines that the domestic industry has 
been injured from the dumped import or a threat thereto;  
c) investigating autho rity determines that such measure is necessary to prevent injury of threat 
of injury being caused to the domestic industry by dumped import during the investigation.  
2. Government of Georgia, based on preliminary report submitted by investigating authority , 
imposes provisional antidumping measure. This measure may be applied no later than 60 days from 
the date of initiation of the investigation.  
3. The rate of the provisional antidumping tariff shall not exceed the preliminary calculated dumping 
margin.  
4. The provisonal  antidumping tariff shall be applied for the least possible period of time, not 
exceeding 4 months, or, by the decision of investigating authority, based on the request of those 
exporters representing the substantial share of trade , for the period of time not exceeding 6 months. 
During the investigation, when the investigating authority determines whether the tariff is lower 
than the margin of dumping or is it sufficient enough to eradicate the injury, the time period may 
be extende d to 9 months.  
5. The administration of provisional antidumping duty will be implemented by the Legal Entity of 
Public Law "Revenue Service", (hereinafter Revenue Service) according to the rules set by the

in the state budget of Georgia until the decision on the imposition of definitive antidumping measure 
is taken.  
6. In case the Government of Georgia imposes the definitive antidumping tariff, which is less th an 
the provisional antidumping tariff, the exceedingly paid amount, according to the Georgian 
legislation, shall be reimbursed to the payer in 90 days and the rest of the amount shall be 
transferred to state budget of Georgia.  
7. In case the Government of Georgia makes negative decision on imposition of antidumping 
measure, the paid amount in a way of provisional antidumping tariff, according to the Georgian 
legislation, shall be reimbursed to the payer in 90 days since the decision.

exceed the preliminary assessed dumping margin.  
Article 16  
Price Undertakings  
1. Investigation may be suspended or terminated without the imposition of provisional or definitive 
antidumping tariff if the exporter shall take voluntary undertaking (hereinafter "undertaking") in 
written to revise the prices set on the investigated produc t or to cease exports of investigated G/ADP/N/1/GEO/2  
 
- 8 - 
 
  product to the customs territory of Georgia at dumped prices and as a result of analysis of this 
undertaking the investigating authority determines, that it shall eliminate injurious effects caused 
by dumped import.  
2. Regarding the undertaking in conformity with the provisions of the paragraph 1, price increases 
of the investigated product under such undertakings shall not be higher of dumping margin. The 
price increases may be less than the margin of dumping if such i ncreases would be adequate to 
remove the injury to the domestic industry.  
3. Price undertaking may be offered by the investigating authority, but no exporter shall be forced 
to enter into such undertaking. The circumstance that the exporters are not offere d or enter into 
such undertaking does not in any case prejudice to consider such undertaking. The investigating 
authority by itself determines that the continuation of dumped import shall present the threat of 
injury.  
Article 17  
Price Undertakings Accept ence by Investigating Authority  
1. The Government of Georgia shall not take a decision on price undertaking, in case if the 
investigating authority considers its establishment impractical, for instance, if the number of actual 
and potential exporters is grea t or due to other reasons hence the general policy conditions. If the

5. If, based on the report of the investigating authority, there is no dumping exporter is freed from 
the price undertaking, except for the case, when the negative decision on the existence of dumping 
is the result of such undertak ing. In such circumstance, an investigating authority may request the 
continuation of the undertaking through the reasonable period of time pursuant to present Law.  
6. Investigating authority can request the exporter an information on undertaking and verif y its 
authenticity.  
7. If an undertaking is violated by an exporter, in conformity with the provisions of the paragraph 1 
of Article 16, the Government of Georgia take expeditious actions, which may constitute immediate 
application of provisional measures using the information available. In such cases, definitive 
antidumping tariff shall be imposed on product, which entered for consumption not more than 90 
days before the application of such provisional antidumping measure, except imports entered before 
the violation of the undertaking.  
Article 18

  3. The investigating authority determines whether antidumping tariff (tariff rate) below the dumping 
margin is sufficient to eliminate the injury caused to domestic industry. In case the  investigating 
authority determines that tariff (tariff rate) less than dumping margin would be adequate to remove 
the injury to the domestic industry, the definitive antidamping  tariff (tariff rate) should not exceed 
this margin.  
4. While making a decisio n about the application of definitive antidamping  measure, along with the 
interests of domestic industry, public interest should also be taken into consideration.
