  1. dumping

    Dumping is an international trade term that refers to the practice of a country or company exporting a product at a price that is either below the price it charges in its home market or is lower than the cost of production. This action is usually intended to increase market share or drive out competition in the importing country, but it can potentially be damaging to the domestic industries of the importing country. It may also be considered a predatory pricing practice and seen as unfair trade, often subjected to trade rules and regulations.
