International Trade Remedies Advisory Service (ITRA Service)

• Australian manufacturers
• importers
• end users of foreign goods.

The Anti-Dumping Commission (the commission) administers the anti-dumping system. It investigates claims that anti-dumping measures are required, and runs other related activities.

The Anti-Dumping Review Panel (ADRP) reviews, upon application, certain decisions made by the minister or by the Commissioner.

The ITRA Service is not part of the commission or the ADRP and does not act on their behalf.

We primarily assists manufacturers and producers to prepare applications for:

• anti-dumping or countervailing investigations
• circumvention investigations
• continuation inquiries.

We also assists importers prepare applications for:

• duty assessments
• exemptions.

Other activities we can assist with:

• reviews of measures
• reviews to the Anti-dumping Review Panel
• helping manufacturers and importers develop submissions to the Anti-Dumping Commission for ongoing cases
• assisting manufacturers and importers develop submissions to the Anti-Dumping Review Panel for ongoing reviews
• raising awareness about how the anti-dumping system works
• advising on general anti-dumping and countervailing matters.

Any Australian registered business (holding an Australian business number), that is an SME. An ‘SME’ is a business that has 200 or less full-time staff in total (where a business is part of a group of businesses, this number is for the group combined).

The ITRA Service may be able to help you if you are an Australian manufacturing business that:

• completes at least one substantial process of manufacture in Australia
• faces competition from goods imported into Australia
• believes the goods imported into Australia are sold cheaper than in their original market, and
• believes the low price of goods affects your industry’s sales volume and price.

The service may also be able to assist you if you are an Australian importer affected by the Anti-Dumping system.

We are not limited to helping Australian manufacturers who want anti-dumping measures to be enforced. We assist all SMEs affected by the anti-dumping system, including importers that buy overseas goods.
