The Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) has today (23 August 2024) initiated a transition review into an anti-dumping measure on bicycles and certain bicycle parts from China. These bicycles are being imported from China and consigned from Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Tunisia. You can find more detailed information about the products on the investigation’s public file.
The TRA will be reviewing the anti-dumping measure inherited from the EU to determine whether it is still suitable for the UK’s needs. The measure is due to expire on 30 August 2024. The current anti-dumping duties range between 19.2% and 48.5%.
The period of investigation for this transition review is 1 July 2023 until 30 June 2024. The injury period is 1 July 2020 until 30 June 2024.
Businesses that may be affected by these measures can register their interest through our public file by 6 September 2024. We rely on data from businesses to evidence where there may be injury, when we conduct a review. Interested parties that register after 6 September may not be able to participate fully in the review. Any new case developments will be posted on the TRA’s public file.
Notes to editors:
-
The TRA is the UK body that investigates whether trade remedy measures are needed to counter unfair trading practices and unforeseen surges of imports.
-
Trade remedy investigations were carried out by the EU Commission on the UK’s behalf until the UK left the EU. A number of EU trade remedy measures of interest to UK producers were carried across into UK law when the UK left the EU and the TRA has been reviewing each one to assess whether they are suitable for UK needs.
-
Anti-dumping duties allow a country or union to act against goods which are being sold at less than their normal value – this is defined as the price for ‘like goods’ sold in the exporter’s home market.
