Anti-dumping Duty updates January 2026

Australia has launched an investigation into whether the production in or import via a third country of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid from China constitutes circumvention in relation to the anti-dumping tariffs imposed on the product

Public notice under section 269ZDBE (4) of the Customs Act 1901 I, David Latina, the Commissioner of the Anti-Dumping Commission, have initiated an anti-circumvention inquiry in relation to 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D, or the goods) exported to Australia from the People’s Republic of China (China). This follows an application made under section 269ZDBC of the Customs Act 1901 (the Act) by Nufarm Limited (Nufarm), a producer of like goods in Australia. Nufarm claims that a circumvention activity has occurred involving:

assembly of the goods in a third country within the meaning of section 269ZDBB (3) of the Act, and/or
export of the goods through one or more third countries within the meaning of section 269ZDBB(4) of the Act.

A non-confidential version of the application, which contains the basis of the alleged circumvention activity, is available on the public record.1 In accordance with sections 269ZDBEand section 269ZDBE, I have decided to initiate the inquiry on the basis of being satisfied of the following:  the application complies with section 269ZDBD, and  there appear to be reasonable grounds for asserting that one or more circumvention activities in relation to the original notices have occurred. Anti-dumping measures were initially imposed on 24 March 2003 by the then Minister for Justice and Customs following consideration of Trade Measures Report No 58 (REP 58). These measures are applicable to all exporters from China. Importers of the goods are required to pay interim dumping duty (IDD) at ad valorem rates ranging from 22.3% to 35.3% depending on the exporter.2 Table 1 sets out the current measures applying to exports of the goods to Australia. The measures currently apply to all exporters of 2,4-D from China. The measures are due to expire on 24 March 2028. (HS: 2918.99.00, 3808.93.00). Source
