Consultation on timeframes for dumping and subsidy investigations

MBIE has responsibilities relating to trade and trade remedies. As a part of this role, MBIE conducts investigations under the Trade (Anti-dumping and Countervailing Duties) Act 1988 (the Act) into alleged dumping and subsidies, as well as reviews of duties imposed by previous investigations. We use the term “investigation” to cover both of these processes.

MBIE is considering legislation to allow the timeframes for these investigations to be extended where good cause can be demonstrated, and we are seeking your feedback.

This consultation document seeks feedback on our proposal to allow for the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs to grant extensions of time limits for dumping and subsidy investigations where necessary, upon good cause being shown.

Consultation is open until 5pm on Friday 17 May 2019.
