We investigate and take action on dumping and subsidisation of imported products under domestic legislation and World Trade Organisation (WTO) agreements.

We have worked on a variety of high profile investigations, including on frozen potato fries and wedges, canned and preserved peaches, and a variety of steel imports.


As well as responsibility for New Zealand's trade remedies regime, other areas of work within the wider Trade and International team include the impact of standards and regulations on the ability of businesses to trade and operate offshore, how we can partner with foreign governments to reduce barriers to trade, and the interface between trade policy and economic policy.

We work closely with other parts of MBIE, the Treasury, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and regulators across government.
