For all its talk of being a champion of free trade, the United States of America is the worst offender when it comes to using the latest tool in anti-trade measures 8212; anti-dumping investigations. On an average, the US initiates 50 anti-dumping cases annually, making it the world leader in this area.

Apart from the fact that the US initiates a majority of such measures, the average duration for such anti-dumping action is also the highest in the case of the US. While anti-dumping duties are typically valid for 6.5 years in Canada and between 5.6 and 7 in the European Union, the average duration in the US is 10.6 years.
