Anti-dumping Notice 2015/129 announced that on 2 November 2015, a range of reforms to the anti-dumping system commenced. The announcement stated:
The reforms strengthen and modernise Australia’s anti-dumping laws to ensure that Australia’s manufacturers and producers are competing on a level playing field and that our laws are consistent with Australia’s obligations under the World Trade Organization’s Anti-Dumping Agreement and Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (WTO agreements).
These reforms were first announced by the Australian Government on 15 December 2014. As many of the reforms required amendment to the anti-dumping provisions of the Customs Act 1901 (the Customs Act) and the Customs Tariff (Anti-Dumping) Act 1975, legislation to amend those provisions and give effect to the reforms was passed by the Australian Parliament on 13 May 2015.
The Anti-dumping Notice explains the purpose and effect of the legislated and non-legislated reforms on Australia’s anti-dumping system.
