According to the announcement published by the Trade Remedies Authority (TRA), these measures will remain in effect for five years from 30 January 2021.
Under the decision, the anti-dumping duty rates applied to flat-rolled products imported from China into the UK are also maintained. Products exported by Valin Group are subject to a 7.9% duty, while the rate for all other Chinese exporters remains at 24.0%. Products from Valin Group are processed under the A930 code, whereas other exporters are under the A999 supplementary code.
The measures cover hot-rolled and irregularly wound coil flat-rolled products made of iron, non-alloy steel, or alloy steel, excluding stainless steel. These products are classified under the UK Global Tariff codes 7213 10 00, 7213 20 00, 7213 91 10, 7213 91 20, 7213 91 41, 7213 91 49, 7213 91 70, 7213 91 90, 7213 99 10, 7213 99 90, 7227 10 00, 7227 20 00, 7227 90 10, 7227 90 50, and 7227 90 95.
Authorities stated that the decision was shaped by evaluations indicating that the UK flat-rolled industry would continue to suffer or experience recurring injury if anti-dumping measures ended. In this context, the current measures aim to preserve the competitiveness of domestic producers.
