Trade (Anti-dumping and Countervailing Duties) Amendment Bill Government Bill Explanatory note General policy statement The current anti-dumping and countervailing duties regime, administered under the Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988, protects New Zealand industries from unfair trading practices by providing New Zealand industries with a mechanism to seek relief from imports that are dumped or subsidised.
Goods are considered to be dumped if the export price to New Zealand is less than the price the goods are sold for in the domestic market of the exporting country.

Goods are subsidised if a foreign government provides a manufacturer or exporter of the goods with specific assistance, either directly or indirectly.
This Bill introduces a public interest test into New Zealand’s anti-dumping and coun- tervailing duties regime, which involves an assessment of the extent to which the cost, to New Zealand downstream industries and consumers, of imposing a duty would materially outweigh the benefit, to the New Zealand industry, of imposing that duty.
The test would allow for broader public interest elements, such as competition and consumer welfare, to be considered before an anti-dumping or a countervailing duty is imposed.

This Bill also introduces a provision that would allow for an anti-dumping and a countervailing duty to be deferred, not imposed, terminated, or suspended if users of the goods that are subject (or potentially subject) to the duty have been significantly impacted by a natural disaster or other emergency.
This Bill also makes a number of minor and technical changes that can usefully be made in conjunction with the adoption of a public interest test.
Most of these changes clarify the law by providing greater transparency in relation to the following: • the decision-making process for the outcome of a review of an existing duty: 143—1 Trade (Anti-dumping and Countervailing Duties) Amendment Bill Explanatory note consistency in the application of the rules on evidence and procedure to investi- gations, and reviews and reassessments of an existing duty: imposition of a separate rate of duty for named exporters and a residual rate of duty to all other exporters: new exporter reassessments, resulting in separate rates of duty for new export- ers or exemptions for new exporters from a duty: the scope of, and process for carrying out, limited reviews.
