Dual Pricing and the GATT Policy Negotiations

In relation to the GATT Policy Negotiations, Christopher Mark (1993) provided the following explanation and/or definition of Dual Pricing: The selling of identical products in different countries for different prices. When not based on factors such as differences in shipping costs or exchange rates, dual pricing is often presumed to reflect export subsidies or dumping practices. See also price discrimination (Sec.
