When the Anti-Dumping Commission opens a case, we publish an anti-dumping notice (ADN) on our website. Each ADN invites interested parties to lodge a submission.
Interested parties are those who have an interest in a case and want to make a comment or argument on the public record. Interested parties include:
- businesses
- trade organisations
- governments.
We create an electronic public record (EPR) for each case. All information and documents related to a case are published on the EPR.
If you are an interested party, you may refute, support, expand upon or reply to matters raised by other parties during the case, or in response to a commission’s report.
You should reference other submissions, or other information on the public record, using:
- the case number
- document number
- title of the EPR
- page number.
We recommend you provide evidence to support your views or assertions.
Your submission should use headings and subheadings for clarity and all pages should be numbered.
- You need to lodge your submission in writing (preferred method is email, or post the details listed in the relevant ADN).
- If submitted on behalf of a company or organisation your submission should be on company letterhead, or on the letterhead of your consultant or agent.
- The first page of your submission should include:
- case number, goods and countries involved
- name and contact details of the person and organisation making the submission
- role of the party making the submission (for example, Australian producer, importer, exporter, and so on)
- if submitted by a consultant or agent, the name, contact details and role of the person and organisation lodging the submission, as well as the name, client details and role of the third party/client.
