The UK’s Trade Remedies Authority has launched a review into the possible discontinuation of safeguarding measures on aluzinc, aluminised flat steel and quarto plate, Kallanish notes from published documents.
These products come under categories 4 and 7. The TRA is expected to issue its statement of intended determination in early February 2026, with any findings taking effect from 1 April.
This comes following a tariff rate quota review requested in a submission by the International Steel Trade Association (ISTA), which notes “the clear absence of any domestic production” of the products in the UK.
In a note to its members, ISTA acknowledges that the timeline leaves limited scope for imports ahead of the current safeguard expiry on 1 July, but the review could support the exclusion of these products from any future replacement measures.
Market participants may register their interest by 25 January, with a simplified registration process aimed at encouraging broader participation, the TRA notes.
