A.
market price
the process by which the supply of a manufacture's product remains low in the
B.
domestic market, which batches him better price
C. prohibited by regulations of GATT
D. All of the above

Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Dumping is a term that is used in financial markets as well as in international trade. In
the context of buying and selling securities, dumping refers to the practice of selling large
blocks of securities. More specifically, when dumping securities the seller is primarily
interested in getting rid of the securities at any price. One simply dumps, or unloads, on
the market with no regard to the selling price of the securities.
Dumping is also used in a commercial sense in the context of international trade. It refers
to the practice of one country selling commodities or finished products in another country
below cost or fair market value. Predatory dumping occurs when one nation exports
goods to another nation below cost or fair market value in order to obtain market share at
the expense of domestic competitors. In many cases, predatory dumping drives out
domestic competition. Then, having established a dominant marketing position in the
industry, the predatory dumpers raise their prices well above previous levels.
Many nations, including the United States, have enacted antidumping laws that provide
for the imposition of antidumping penalties or tariffs when a case of dumping can be
proven. Following the Uruguay Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations in 1993, the
General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) contained provisions to standardize
antidumping measures by different nations. Antidumping measures affect not only the
practice of dumping goods into the U.S. market, they also affect the ability of U.S.
companies to export goods to other countries at competitive prices.
