The UK Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) has initiated a transition review into anti-dumping duties on certain corrosion resistant – coated flat – steels originating in China, Kallanish notes.
Products affected come under HS codes 72 10 41 00 20, 72 10 41 00 30, 72 10 49 00 20, 72 10 49 00 30, 72 10 61 00 20, 72 10 61 00 30, 72 10 69 00 20, 72 10 69 00 30, 72 10 90 80 92, 72 12 30 00 20, 72 12 30 00 30, 72 12 50 61 20, 72 12 50 61 30, 72 12 50 69 20, 72 12 50 69 30, 72 12 50 90 14, 72 12 50 90 92, 72 25 92 00 20, 72 25 92 00 30, 72 25 99 00 22, 72 25 99 00 23, 72 25 99 00 41, 72 25 99 00 92, 72 25 99 00 93, 72 26 99 30 10, 72 26 99 30 30, 72 26 99 70 13, 72 26 99 70 93 and 72 26 99 70 94.
The period of investigation is 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022. In order to assess injury, TRA will examine the period from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2022.
The purpose of the transition review is to determine whether, following Brexit, the UK should continue to apply duties it inherited from its time as an EU member.
Separately, TRA has recommended extending the 65.1-73.7% ad valorem anti-dumping duties on China-origin heavy plate imports for another five years from 1 March 2022 (see separate story).
