Answer
Under the WTO Anti-Dumping and Anti-Subsidy Agreements, trade remedy measures can only remain in force for as long as is necessary to counteract the dumping or subsidy which is causing injury. There is no ordinary duration for measures to be in force. The maximum period measures can remain in force is five years.
