Alec Martinez · Answer 1

(B). 3 percent

Explanation:

Dumping occurs when a firm exports its goods into another country at a price lower than the price in its home country. Firms may do this to increase sales or capture market share in the importing market.

Dumping goods in a country may affect the domestic producers of similar goods in that country, as they may not be able to compete at such low unfair prices.

In the United States, imports are usually investigated for dumping practices. However if the imports constitute less than three percent market share within a twelve month period, then it is not investigated.
