Anti-Dumping Outlook 2026:

Past Event Overview

The trade remedies landscape is moving fast — and the next 12 months will be defined by three practical realities: where cases are clustering, how enforcement is sharpening around circumvention, and what the safeguard function shift could mean for timing and strategy.

The Australian Steel Association invited Members to a focused, “what you need to know” session designed for importers, manufacturers, distributors, and compliance leaders across the steel supply chain.

What we covered:

1) 2025 → 2026 case pipeline & themes: Where activity is clustering, what’s driving it, and the practical implications for industry participants.

2) Circumvention / Avoidance & Compliance: Current enforcement posture and what “good hygiene” looks like for importers and supply chains — documentation, controls, and risk flags.

3) Safeguards shift — what changes in approach and stakeholder strategy: xImplications of the announced transfer of safeguard responsibility from the Productivity Commission to the Anti-Dumping Commission, including potential changes in approach, timing, and how stakeholders should engage.

Why attend (commercial takeaways):

• Understand the emerging case patterns and what they signal for 2026 pricing, sourcing, and procurement risk.
• Get ahead of the safeguard transition and what it may mean for escalation pathways and stakeholder engagement.
• Pressure-test your compliance posture against current expectations.
