Market-Based Antidumping Calculations Act

H.R. 2736, the Market-Based Antidumping Calculations Act, would change how the U.S. government calculates trade penalties on imported goods from countries transitioning from state-run to market-based economies. The bill establishes specific criteria to determine if foreign prices or production costs are being artificially distorted by government interference rather than true supply and demand. For American citizens, this measure aims to protect domestic industries and workers from unfair foreign competition by ensuring that "antidumping" duties accurately reflect the true cost of producing those goods.
