Cumulative Subsidies

Cumulative subsidies in Global Commerce Policy

In this regard, a definition of this issue is as follows: the WTO Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Duties provides that if imports of a product from more than one country are concurrently the subject of a countervailing duty investigation, authorities may assess the cumulative effect of these subsidies. However, they may only do this if (a) amounts greater than de minimis subsidies are involved and (b) if such an assessment is appropriate in the light of the competitive conditions in the import market.[1]
