1. Secretary of State’s exemption from anti-dumping duty

This public notice is published under regulation 96H(5) of the Trade Remedies (Dumping and Subsidisation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (“the Regulations”).

It exempts the application of the anti-dumping duty applied by taxation notice 2020/34 (anti-dumping duty on bicycles and certain bicycle parts originating in the People’s Republic of China (including bicycles consigned from Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Tunisia)) (“the anti-dumping duty”) to goods imported by the Martlet Group. The exemption has been recommended by the Trade Remedies Authority (“TRA”) under regulation 96G(1) of the Regulations. The exemption will only apply to certain bicycle parts (Category 2 goods) in taxation notice 2020/34. The exemption will apply from the day after this notice is published.

Category 1 goods (described as bicycles from Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Tunisia) are still subject to the original anti-dumping duty.

Further information on the investigation can be found on the TRA’s public file, which will be updated as the case progresses.

2. Applicant for the review

The applicant for the review is The Martlet Group Ltd, Unit S, Swallow Enterprise Park Diamond Drive, Lower Dicker, Hailsham, England, BN27 4EL

3. Summary of the review

Under regulation 96E of the Regulations, the TRA may conduct a UK trade remedies measure exemption review (“exemption review”). The aim of the exemption review is to consider whether goods imported by an importer or overseas exporter should be exempted from the application of a UK trade remedies measure.

4. Reasons for the TRA’s recommendation

The TRA has determined that the UK measure applies an EU trade remedies measure that was extended following an EU circumvention review. The TRA is satisfied that the applicant is not related to an overseas exporter which is subject to the measure and the applicant is not engaged in circumvention of the UK trade remedies measure.

5. Overseas exporters: additional code

The anti-dumping duty is exempt for:

Company	Additional code
