Anti-Dumping Commission

Supporting the Australian economy by remedying unfair international trade.

What we do

We investigate claims that dumped and subsidised imports have injured Australian industry.

Dumping generally occurs when a company exports a product into Australia at a price that is lower than the price charged in the country of manufacture.

Subsidisation is a financial benefit an exporter receives from a government. This subsidy may allow the exporter to sell their goods to Australia at a lower price.

Accessing the system

For Australian industry

Anti-dumping and countervailing

An anti-dumping measure is an additional duty on dumped imports that have injured Australian industry. 

A countervailing measure is an additional duty on subsidised imports that have injured Australian industry. 

These measures (duties) are imposed by the minister on the recommendation of the commissioner.

How to lodge a submission in response to an anti-dumping or countervailing case

Read the dumping and subsidy manual 

Material injury and causation

We can only recommend measures if material injury has been caused by dumped or subsidised imports. 

Material injury to Australian industry can include:

  • loss of sales, profits, market share and productivity
  • negative impacts to prices, cash flow, inventories, and employment. 

The injury must be greater than what normally occurs in the normal ebb and flow of business.

To decide if the imports have caused material injury, we examine the volume and price of the imports and their effect on Australian producers of like goods. 

We cannot recommend measures to address injury caused by something other than dumped or subsidised imports.
