The bill would also let the government introduce a fee for applying to the Anti-Dumping Review Panel, with refunds possible and different fees for different applicants.
- Tighten deadlines for submitting information in dumping and subsidisation investigations.
- Require electronic publication of anti-dumping notices.
- Consolidate rules for lodging and withdrawing applications.
- Clarify that the investigation period cannot be varied.
- Allow the government to charge a fee for Review Panel applications.
- Replace the statutory International Trade Remedies Forum with administrative business consultative arrangements.
