The Anti-Dumping Commission has this week declared a "preliminary affirmative determination" (PAD) against imports from China of steel clips used to attached plastic pipes for plumbing. It is the first PAD that the commission has issued in some years, and means that dumping duties can be imposed before a final decision is made. The issue of the PAD is seen as a sign that the federal government wants to put importers of steel on notice, amid fears that China and other steel exporters will try to dump their products on Australia as a result of the US decision to impose increased tariffs on steel ­imports.

However, Dixon has raised concerns that Australia could face an influx of low-cost imported steel from countries that are barred from the US market under the new tariffs regime. The Opposition has also stressed the need to protect local industries and jobs by ensuring that anti-dumping laws are enforced.
