The practice of charging unequal prices to different buyers of products that are essentially identical, when such pricing does not correspond to differences in supply cost. Dumping is a form of price discrimination which, in principle, can be maintained only if the exporter's home market is sheltered by trade barriers (preventing re-importation of goods which have been sold below cost in foreign markets).

Price discrimination is the practice of selling different units of a good or service for different prices or of charging one customer different prices for different quantities bought. For a firm to be able to price discriminate, it must: possess market power so that it has the ability to influence price and quantity; identify differences between consumers on which they would be willing and able to pay different prices (usually along the lines of differences in price elasticities of demand); and be able to separate the different consumers so they are unable to buy the product as a member of the lower-priced group of consumers then re-sell it in the higher-priced market ( arbitrage).
Price discrimination exists when sales of identical goods or services are transacted at different prices from the same provider. In a theoretical market with perfect information, no transaction costs or prohibition on secondary exchange (or re-selling) to prevent arbitrage, price discrimination can only be a feature of monopoly markets. Otherwise, the moment the seller tries to sell the same good at different prices, the buyer at the lower price can arbitrage by selling to the consumer buying at the higher price but with a tiny discount.
