Your firm is a paper converter. It converts paperboards into various articles used in homes and restaurants for food preparation, sale, and storage. Its products include pizza boxes, ice cream boxes, bakery and deli boxes and paper plates as well as boxes and trays used in fast food operations. You have purchased paperboard from both domestic and foreign sources. Recently, a Chinese supplier has begun offering paperboard for sale directly to your firm at extremely low prices- far lower than what you have been paying domestically. One of your colleagues at your firm called the offer ”too good to be true.” What information do you think you need before committing to a purchase? If it turns out that the products are being ”dumbed” in the U.S market, what would be the result? What might be the objective of the exporter in this case? DO you think that it is fair or unfair for an exporter to dump its goods in a foreign market? Evaluate the statement, ”selling at a low price can’t be unfair.”
