The Anti-Dumping Commission tracks monthly volume and price movements of certain goods subject to anti-dumping measures. These include paper, steel, aluminium, chemical and glass products.
We prepare the Trade remedy index (TRINDEX) from this analysis. It provides graphical information on the product trade flows to help people interacting with the anti-dumping system make more informed and timely decisions.
Due to ongoing technical difficulties, TRINDEX updates will not be available while we seek to rectify this.
Compare the volume and price index for different products and export countries from 2017.
Notes: For all products except 2,4-D, the charts show January 2017 as the index base 100. January 2017 should be taken to mean the entire 2017 calendar year. For 2,4-D, the charts show January 2018 as the index base 100. January 2018 should be taken to mean the period April-December 2018.
The TRINDEX shows monthly index figures, using import volumes and prices indexed against the relevant base year. ‘Drilling up’ on the charts will not show accurate annual index figures.

The TRINDEX shows the volume and weighted average unit price of imported goods as an index. It does not show actual volumes or prices. While indices provide an indication of movements in volumes and prices, they are not actuals, so take care interpreting the data.
It shows import sources that represent greater than 3% of total 2017 import volumes, as well as emerging significant new sources. We only include countries that have exported to Australia in the last six months.
This information should not be considered as official trade statistics produced or endorsed by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
The TRINDEX shows the weighted average unit price and volume of imported goods as an index. It does not show actual volumes or prices.
Weighted average unit prices are calculated using the free on board (FOB) price of each import. Price indices are based on import prices in Australian dollars. FOB prices include all costs (including inland transport and insurance) relating to the goods until they reach the place of export.
For all products except 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and silicon metal, the TRINDEX shows a 2017 index base, as well as 2018, 2019 and 2020 monthly index values for each source country, as well as for the total of all countries.
For 2,4-D, the TRINDEX shows a 2018 index base, as well as 2019 and 2020 monthly index values for each source country and the total of all countries.
For silicon metal, the TRINDEX shows a 2017 index base, as well as 2018, 2019 and 2020 monthly index values for the total of all countries.
For all products other than 2,4-D and silicon metal, the TRINDEX reports country of origin sources greater than three per cent of 2017 volumes, as well as emerging significant new sources. Emerging new sources are countries that had less than 3 per cent of the 2017 import volume but have reached their 2017 index base in any given month in 2018, 2019 and 2020.
Only countries that have exported to Australia in the last 6 months are shown on the charts.
The Anti-Dumping Commission sources data from the Australian Border Force import database in order to produce the TRINDEX. In many cases, the raw data includes a broader subset of goods than is necessary for the commission’s analysis[1]. The commission filters the data to ensure the analysis is as accurate as possible by only focusing on relevant imported goods. The commission regularly reviews its data cleansing processes to ensure the data is accurate. Where improvements are identified, there may be small changes to historical data. The steps the commission takes to cleanse the data include:
