The UK’s Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) has today published its interim findings in a transition review of an anti-dumping measure on imports of heavy plate steel from China. The TRA has proposed in its initial findings that the measure is retained on these imports until 1 March 2027. The anti-dumping duty rates were assigned between 65.1% to 73.7%.

This measure covers certain flat products of non-alloy or alloy steel, which are often used in the manufacture of construction, mining, and logging equipment, in oil and gas pipelines, for ship-building, and construction of bridges and buildings. The UK imports around 100 tons of heavy plates from China annually.

The products involved are under HS codes 7208512010, 7208519110, 7208519810, 7208529110, 7208902010, 7208908020, 7225404000, 7225406010, and 7225990045.
