Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2017-09-13.
This bill would prevent exporters from lowering anti-dumping duties by temporarily reducing exports.
It would let the minister use alternative methods to calculate an export price when exporters have exported nothing or very little during a review period.
The new methods apply to all reviews lodged or started before the bill starts, but not reviews already finished.
- Prescribe a range of methods in new subsection 269TAB(2B) to determine appropriate export prices.
- Allow the minister to apply one of these methods to any review not yet finalised.
- Require procedural fairness, including notifying affected parties and inviting submissions before a decision.
Exporters subject to anti-dumping and countervailing duties, and Australian industries that may suffer material injury from dumping.
