To win an anti-dumbing law suit it has to be proven that the domestic market(s) have been harmed and the prodcuts are being sold at below the prices that they are sold in the manufactuers domestic market, at least in the US) and anti-dumping penalities. In the mdi 80's hyster filed suit agains, Japanese ift truck manufactures teh final decision was not to assess a penalty but an agreement to limit the number of units imported by each manufacturer. Later, Hyster filed in the US & each company was assessed an anti-dumping penalty from ~10% to ~53%. This started the assembly operations of Japanese lfit trucks in the US and later more agdressive manufacturing by some. Look what Toyota has done, in the US, since then and Hyster is certainly not the same as they were in the mid 80%.
