Part 4 Cumulative assessment of injury or hindrance
Customs Act 1901
60 After subsection 269TDA(13)
Insert:
(13A) If, in relation to the investigation referred to in subsection (13), the Commissioner, in accordance with subsection (14B), considers the cumulative effect of exportations of goods to Australia from 2 or more countries of export, then the following apply in relation to those countries:
(a) if the Commissioner is not satisfied that the injury to an Australian industry or an industry in a third country, or the hindrance to the establishment of an Australian industry, that has been, or may be, caused by those exports is negligible - subsection (13) does not apply in relation to those countries;
(b) if the Commissioner is satisfied that such injury or hindrance that has been, or may be, caused by those exports is negligible - the Commissioner must terminate the investigation so far as it relates to those countries.
Note: If the investigation also covers exports of goods from a country that was not part of the cumulation consideration because those exports did not satisfy the criteria in subsection (14B), then the Commissioner will consider whether subsection (13) applies to that country.
