(Applications for reimbursement of paid anti-dumping duties)
📌 WHAT IS A REFUND INVESTIGATION?
Importers who have paid anti-dumping duties may request a refund if the dumping margin has decreased or ceased to exist during a specific period.
🟠 In such cases, the dumping margin is recalculated, and any overpaid amount may be partially or fully refunded to the importer.
📌 The process requires close cooperation between the importer and the exporter/producer, as the exporter must provide detailed cost, domestic sales, and export data for the period in question.
📋 WHO MAY APPLY?
✅ Importers who have paid anti-dumping duties on imports into Türkiye
✅ Exporters/producers willing to cooperate and share accurate data
📝 The refund request must cover a minimum of 6 months and include comprehensive financial and commercial records.
