Confidential Information

If your application contains confidential or commercially sensitive information, you must provide a non-confidential version of the application.

The non-confidential version must contain enough detail to give other interested parties a reasonable understanding of the application. This is a requirement of s.269ZZY of the Customs Act 1901 and the application form approved by the Senior Member.

Under Part C of all applications forms, you must provide a confidential version of the application. You must mark the document ‘CONFIDENTIAL’ at the top of each page.

You must also highlight all information that is confidential or commercially sensitive in yellow. It is your responsibility to highlight all confidential or commercially sensitive information.

The yellow highlight allows the Anti-Dumping Review Panel and its Secretariat to identify the confidential or commercially sensitive information when publishing or preparing material.
