Anti-Dumping Commission

The Anti-Dumping Commission helps Australian industry by managing Australia’s anti-dumping and countervailing system. We investigate claims that dumped and subsidised imports have injured Australian industry.
The Commissioner
The Commissioner of the Anti-Dumping Commission is Dr Bradley Armstrong PSM, who is an independent statutory office holder under the Customs Act 1901.
Dr Armstrong reports directly to the Minister and is responsible for leading and directing the Commission’s work and exercising the powers of Commissioner under the Act.
Brad commenced as Commissioner on 19 February 2021. He has extensive experience in both the public service and the private sector – most recently he was Deputy Comptroller-General and Head of Customs at the Australian Border Force (ABF).
After beginning his career as an apprentice carpenter, Brad moved to corporate management and commercial banking. He joined Government in 1999 and has broad experience as a senior diplomat, trade negotiator, policy maker, regulator and analyst. In Government, he has worked for Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Treasury, the Office of National Intelligence, Home Affairs, the ABF, and he had a three-month Australian Federal Police secondment as a temporary federal agent.
Brad’s time in government and the private sector has included four long-term overseas assignments to Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. From January 2015 to January 2018, he was posted to Australia’s largest embassy located in Jakarta, and was acting Deputy Ambassador over the last eight months of his posting. Brad is a fluent Indonesian speaker and has interpreted for, inter alia, two Australian Prime Ministers.
Brad has an Anthropology PhD from the Australian National University, a Monash University Graduate Diploma in Foreign Affairs and Trade, and a Social Sciences (First Class Honours) Degree with majors in Economics and Anthropology from Curtin University.
In 2003, he was awarded a Public Service Medal for his efforts following the 2002 Bali bombings.
Trade flow tracking: Trade Remedy Index
We track monthly volume and pricing trends of certain goods subject to anti-dumping measures. From this analysis, we prepare the Trade Remedy Index (TRINDEX), which provides graphical information on the trade flows of certain products subject to measures.
TRINDEX aims to make information available earlier so that those interacting with the anti-dumping system can make more informed decisions.
View our interactive TRINDEX publication.
Performance indicators
We use performance indicators on our cases and measures to monitor how well we meet our objectives, support operational improvement, and provide transparency.
We publish these indicators quarterly. You can read our December 2020 report [343KB PDF].

International Trade Remedies Forum
The International Trade Remedies Forum (ITRF) is a group of representatives from Australian manufacturers and producers, importers, unions and government agencies. The ITRF provides key users of the anti-dumping system the opportunity to advise government on how to improve anti-dumping legislation (Part XVB of the Customs Act 1901 and the Customs Tariff (Anti-Dumping) Act 1975).
You can email any enquiries to the secretariat at ITRFsecretariat@adcommission.gov.au.
