The curious thing is that this particular measure lags real world developments; firms already seek anti-dumping duties in response to exchange rate misalignments, even without a formal cite by the U.S. government.* The legislation is relevant, however, as adding exchange rates expressly to the law will make it easier to reach a positive finding in the investigation.
