Dumped
goods are goods from overseas that are imported into Australia
at less than their normal value and that may cause injury to an
Australian industry producing similar goods, or hinder the
establishment of an Australian industry.
In 1999, the Tasmanian Government introduced a
policy banning government agencies from purchasing dumped goods or
goods that are suspected of being dumped.
Dumped goods, and goods that are suspected of
being dumped and are under investigation by the Australian Customs
Service (ACS), can be identified by referring to the Australian
Customs Service's website.
Supplying dumped goods to the Government could
result in significant costs to the supplier.
If a supplier supplies goods that are listed
as dumped by the ACS, the contract will be terminated. Any
consequential costs or losses resulting from this are the
responsibility of the supplier.
If a supplier supplies goods that are
suspected of being dumped and that are under investigation by the
ACS, the contract will be suspended until the investigation has
been completed. Any costs or losses incurred as result of the
suspension are also the responsibility of the supplier.
