Explain the relationship between injury findings and causation findings in tariff remedies.

• A. Injury findings alone always lead to remedies, regardless of causation.
• B. Causation findings alone determine duties without injury considerations.
• C. Injury must be established and causation must be linked to the imported product to justify remedies.
• D. Neither injury nor causation is necessary for remedies.

Answer: (C)

Remedies in tariff law hinge on two linked findings: the domestic industry must suffer injury, and that injury must be caused by the imported product (a causal link to the unfairly traded goods). If either element is missing, no remedy should be imposed. Therefore the best answer states that injury must be established and causation must be linked to the imported product to justify remedies, ensuring the remedy targets the specific unfair trade causing harm to domestic producers. The other options misstate the requirement by treating injury alone or causation alone as sufficient, or suggesting neither element is needed.
