Market disruption assessment requires objective import injury indicators and a proven causal link, excluding harm caused by other factors.

Market disruption is assessed by objective and quantifiable indicators affecting the domestic industry, including increased import volumes and market share, sales, production, productivity, capacity utilisation, profits, losses and employment. A finding requires objective evidence of a causal link between increased imports and market disruption or its threat. Injury caused by other simultaneous factors cannot be attributed to increased imports, and the complaint may be referred for anti-dumping or countervailing duty investigation where appropriate.
