To promptly respond to the incident, the Department of Trade Defense (DTD) recommends that associations and enterprises producing and exporting products proposed for investigation do the following:

• Carefully study the notice of initiation, contact, register as a related party and request MITI to send the investigation questionnaire, public complaint; send comments on the case (if any).
• Cooperate fully and comprehensively with the investigating agency to avoid being found to be uncooperative (which often leads to high tax rates), and request the investigating agency to provide full information related to the enterprise (investigation conclusions, methods of calculating dumping margins) in the later stages of the case.
