Hello
I have this word in my text and we've managed to work out that it is the same word as in:
https://www.senat.fr/enseance/2016-2017/288/Amdt_5.html
but is there a word for this in English?
Thanks

dumping
"It occurs when manufacturers export a product to another country at a price below the normal price with an injuring effect."

I've never seen this French term before, though.
Even the EU uses the anglicism "dumping", e.g.: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/FR-EN/TXT/?from=EN&u...

: I think you should get the points for this, as it's the correct answer to the context in Safetex's link.

Thanks for your backing Phil. All very strange, this "kerfuffle".

clearance products
There are also decommissioned products.
The web reference explains that those clearance or decommissioned products exercise an inequitable concurrence to the detriment of local producers.
I think it means that they don't correspond equally at the same time and place, as they can cause damages to local producers.
FR: "Ces produits de dégagement exercent une concurrence inéquitable au détriment des producteurs locaux."
Je crois que ça veux dire que des produits dégagés ou décommissionés ne correspondent pas au même temps ou endroit, et ensuite ils peuvent causer des dommages aux producteurs locaux.

Here's another sentence from SafeTex's web reference:
It says that local producers can't compete with products which are imported at such low prices.
"En effet, compte tenu des caractéristiques et des contraintes particulières de ces départements,les producteurs locaux ne peuvent faire concurrence à des produits importés à si bas prix."

Hello Safetex: Items could be at clearance or sell-out prices if a vendor wishes to sell off a stock line quite quickly. I don't really know if the term 'decommissioned' is OK or not. You'll know if it fits with what you're looking for. There might be something else in the web reference which helps explain it. It says the imported items are commodities or foodstuff for customers.

Note from asker:
| Hello I don't think "clearance" quite works as this could mean cleared for any reason but I did note that you used the term "decommissioned" and this may prove very useful. |
Discussion
Better close the Q
I've already said sorry but I'm also under terrible time pressure and it takes so long to post on Proz anyway
Could you provide a sentence in which the term is used?
I did not give my own context which is a production line. So I can't use "dumping" or "off-loading" as they are too negative. Sorry as I didn't see this eventuality when I gave an alternative source.
But i have now noted that Lisa used the word "decommission" in her suggestion and that may just work. I have nothing better at present
Food for thought
