The largest number of measures, namely 18, is directed against goods coming from China. In addition, among the countries whose goods are subject to restrictions are Malaysia, Turkey, Ukraine, Georgia, Thailand, Azerbaijan, India, Uzbekistan, and Japan.
The economic measures recorded in the EEC registry mainly concern products from the heavy and chemical industries. Some of these measures have been in place since 2011, while many were introduced between 2020 and 2023. The duration of the restrictions varies from 5 to 16 years.
“Foreign manufacturers are applying aggressive pricing strategies in an attempt to capture new markets. In response, the EAEU is implementing anti-dumping measures.
These measures help create a level playing field for competition and protect domestic producers in the EAEU countries.
As a result of the application of such measures, the market of five countries is covered, with a volume of about $20 billion, which helps preserve 50,000 jobs at more than 120 enterprises.”
- Andrey Zakharov, Director of the Department for the Protection of the Domestic Market of the EEC
Anti-dumping measures represent a set of administrative and economic tools designed to protect competition and domestic producers from unfair price undercutting.
These include the introduction of special duties, temporary restrictions, price commitments from exporters, increased contract security, and other measures in the event of a sharp price drop (usually by 25% or more).
On the international stage, such measures are applied by states against goods imported at prices below their normal value, which can harm the local economy.
