This public notice is published by the Secretary of State under regulation 101C(2)(a) of the Trade Remedies (Dumping and Subsidisation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (‘the Regulations’).

This public notice:

• relates to certain corrosion resistant iron and steel products (the ‘goods’ it relates to are described under the heading ‘goods description’)
• gives effect to the Trade Remedies Authority’s (TRA) recommendation to vary the application of the anti-dumping duty on certain corrosion resistant iron and steel products so that it applies from 9 February 2023 until 9 February 2028, which is 5 years subsequent to the date when the measure would have otherwise expired had no transition review been initiated and maintain the duty rate set out in Taxation Notice 2020/20: anti-dumping duty on certain corrosion resistant steel originating from the People’s Republic of China (‘Taxation Notice 2020/20’)
• supersedes Taxation Notice 2020/20

1. Transition review TD0031: Transition review of an anti-dumping measure applying to corrosion resistant steel originating from the People’s Republic of China (PRC)

On 2 February 2023 the TRA published a Notice of Initiation (NOI) to initiate a transition review of the UK measure relating to certain corrosion resistant steel originating from the PRC.

2. Summary of the transition review

The TRA initiated a transition review of the relevant trade measure relating to corrosion resistant steel originating in the PRC. During the assessment it publicly consulted and received responses about whether the goods or the description of the goods, to which the anti-dumping amount applies, should be varied.

Having considered the responses to the consultation and having conducted its assessment, the TRA recommended that the application of the anti-dumping amount should be extended so that it applies until 9 February 2028, 5 years subsequent to the date when the measure would have otherwise expired (9 February 2023) had the transition review not been initiated. In addition, the TRA recommended that the measure be maintained on the goods at the existing amount as it had not been possible for the TRA to recalculate the anti dumping amount.

3. Variation of anti-dumping duty on the product

The import duty (the anti-dumping duty) on the goods given effect to by Taxation Notice 2020/20 is varied in accordance with this public notice from 9 February 2023.

4. Amount of anti-dumping duty

The anti-dumping duty applicable to the net, free-at-the-frontier price before other amounts of import duty, on the product imported into the UK originating from the People’s Republic of China is maintained at the rates listed in Table 1.
