Abstract:

GATT and the WTO have reduced customs taxes to the bottom, making world trade more free. Since the Member States are obliged to comply with these international agreements, they have addressed non-tariff barriers for reasons such as being able to control foreign trade disadvantages, protect their domestic producers and industries, and fighting unfair competition. Although there are many kinds of non-tariff barriers, the study has been trying to describe anti-dumping taxes in detail. The WTO has a strong attitude against other non-tariff barriers while allowing the application of anti-damping taxes in the presence of certain conditions. This has led to the more frequent use of such taxes. In the study, the dumping investigations that Turkey launched between 2007-2017 years; the real non-clean domestic revenue of Turkey, the inflation rate, the rate of increase in imports from the countries in which the investigation was opened and the investigation was conducted by macroeconomic indicators such as the real non-clean domestic revenue; the result was that the increase in the real non-clean domestic revenue of the selected trade partners was effective in the opening of dumping investigations against these countries.
