Abstract
This LL.M. thesis provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of antidumping duty regimes across three major jurisdictions — the United States, the European Union, and Japan — against the backdrop of GATT Article VI and successive Antidumping Codes. The work traces the legislative history of antidumping measures from early twentieth-century domestic legislation through the Kennedy and Tokyo Rounds, analyzes the procedural and substantive provisions of the 1979 Code and the Dunkel Draft, and concludes with a critique of the Final Act of the Uruguay Round. Key topics include the legal definitions of dumping margin, normal value, export price, material injury, and anti-circumvention; domestic administrative procedures in the U.S. (ITA/ITC framework) and Japan (Ministry of Finance petition process); and notable case studies such as the Smith Corona v. Brother typewriter litigation, the Korean DRAM semiconductor case, and Japan's Ferro-silico-manganese case — the first actual imposition of antidumping duties by Japan.
