BASIS OF STATISTICAL DATA
Data is based on notifications by WTO Members.
AD and CVD data: if an investigation covers imports from more than one WTO Member or country, the number of import sources are counted – for example, if three WTO Members were involved, it is counted as three initiations/measures.
No data on Reviews included.
