This notice was published on 1 July 2021.

This public notice is made by the Secretary of State under regulation 94D(2) of the Trade Remedies (Dumping and Subsidisation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019^{[footnote 1]} and suspends, in full or in part, the application of the anti-dumping duty on cold-rolled flat steel goods originating in Russia in relation to goods to which the tariff-rate quota on steel goods is also applicable.

Suspension of anti-dumping duty on cold-rolled flat steel goods originating in Russia

Anti-dumping duty suspended

This notice relates to the additional amounts of import duty applicable to cold-rolled flat steel goods originating in Russia under:

(a) Taxation Notice 2020/10: Anti-dumping duty on certain cold rolled flat steel products originating in the People’s Republic of China and the Russian Federation (“TN 2020/10”); and

(b) Trade Remedies Notice 2021/01: Tariff-rate quota on steel goods (“TRN 2021/01”).

If cold-rolled flat steel goods originating in Russia are subject to the additional amount of import duty under TRN 2021/01 (“safeguard duty”) because the goods are imported outside of the quota allocated for goods category B (Non-alloy and other alloy cold-rolled sheet), the additional amount of import duty applicable to the goods under TN 2020/10 (“anti-dumping duty”) is suspended to the extent set out below.
