Pursuant to section 17G(4) of the Trade (Anti-dumping and Countervailing Duties) Act 1988 (“Act”), the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (“Minister”) gives the following notice.

On 1 September 2025:

Pursuant to section 17F of the Act the chief executive of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (“chief executive”) completed full review stage 1, and found that the continued imposition of anti-dumping duties on the goods described in Schedule 1, other than A10 cans, produced by Langeberg and Ashton Foods Pty. Ltd. (“Langeberg”) of this notice is necessary to offset dumping; and that material injury to an industry would be likely to continue or recur if the duty expired.

On 8 September 2025:

Pursuant to section 17G(1) of the Act the Minister determined that the continued imposition of anti-dumping duties on imports the goods described in Schedule 1 of this notice, other than A10 cans, produced by Langeberg is necessary to offset dumping and that material injury to an industry would be likely to continue or recur if the duty expired (affirmative determination).

Pursuant to section 17G(2)(a) of the Act, having made an affirmative determination under section 17G(1), the Minister determined the rate of anti-dumping duty that will form the basis for full review stage 2, applicable to the goods described in Schedule 1 of this notice on the basis set out in Schedule 2.

Pursuant to section 17G(1) of the Act, the Minister determined that the continued imposition of anti-dumping duties on imports of the goods described in Schedule 1 produced by all other producers, and A10 cans produced by Langeberg, is not necessary to offset likely dumping and that material injury to an industry would be unlikely to recur if the duties on these goods expired or were otherwise removed or varied (negative determination).

Pursuant to section 17G(3) of the Act, having made a negative determination under section 17G(1), the Minister terminated the imposition of the duties in respect of imports of the goods described in Schedule 1 produced by all other producers, and A10 cans produced by Langeberg, under section 17Y(1) of the Act.
