Anti-dumping

On 27 April 2012, under the 'Streamlining Australia's anti-dumping system' reform package, the Australian Minister for Home Affairs sent out a Ministerial Direction to the Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service to expand the definition of 'injury' in anti-dumping investigations.
 
The extended definition now also includes profits foregone and loss of market share in expanding markets.
