- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides whether the client is an interested party, what is provided within 37 days of the start of the investigation, whether to allow a visit to verify the figures, and the contents of any submission. The lawyer lodges it.

Who does what
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Assistance | Supporting preparation only. From the notice of investigation and the import ledger the lawyer marks, build a table of shipment dates, supplier, invoice values, volumes and the goods description, each tied to a document. Do not write the submission, the questionnaire answers or any comment on injury, dumping or subsidy. The tool writes nothing into the document. Substantive advice, judgement and any restricted content remain with the responsible human. |
| Lawyer | Perform the substantive analysis and decisions. Independently check any permitted supporting work and approve the exact output for its intended use. |
Checklist
- Diarise 37 days from the start of the investigation, and the 30-day Anti-Dumping Review Panel period if a reviewable decision is notified.
- Check every shipment row against the import declaration and invoice, not against the ledger alone.
- Confirm the submission is the lawyer writing, lodged by email, post or SIGBOX as the Commission directs, and that the tool has drafted none of it.
- If interim duty has already been paid, open the duty-assessment window as a separate piece of work.
