Taiwan has collected more than TWD 676 million in anti-dumping duties as of June 2026, with measures currently covering 12 products under the World Trade Organisation (WTO) Anti-Dumping Agreement and the Customs Act.
Taiwan’s Customs Administration, Ministry of Finance, stated on 8 September 2026 that more than TWD 676 million in anti-dumping duties had been collected by the end of June 2026, as anti-dumping measures continue to apply to 12 products.
The authority said anti-dumping action is taken under the World Trade Organisation (WTO) Anti-Dumping Agreement and the Customs Act when dumped imports cause injury to domestic industries. Dumping occurs when imported goods are supplied to Taiwan at a price below the domestic selling price of the like product in the exporting country.
The Customs Administration clarified that dumping is determined by comparing the actual domestic selling price of the subject goods in the exporting country with their export price to Taiwan. The assessment does not compare prices with domestic production costs or prices offered by other companies involved in the case. An export price below that of domestic products does not, by itself, establish dumping.
Under WTO rules, anti-dumping measures require a finding of dumping, evidence that the domestic industry has suffered injury, and a determination of a causal relationship between the dumped imports and the injury. The requirements are intended to distinguish unfair trade practices from normal price competition.
Anti-dumping duties are currently imposed on towels; benzoyl peroxide; Portland cement and its clinker; cold-rolled stainless steel products (300 series); certain flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel plated or coated with zinc and zinc alloys; carbon steel plates; certain aluminium foil; ceramic tiles and float flat glass; plates for offset printing; malt beverages made from malt; and certain hot-rolled flat-rolled steel products.
Domestic industries that believe dumped imports have caused injury may apply to the Ministry of Finance under the Regulations Governing the Implementation of the Imposition of Countervailing and Anti-Dumping Duties. Applications should include reasonably obtainable evidence on the normal price and export price of the subject goods, injury to the industry, and the causal relationship.
