Determination to transition trade remedies measure
This notice is published under regulation 96(1) of the Trade Remedies (Dumping and Subsidisation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019.
The Secretary of State for International Trade has determined the anti-dumping duty on certain hot-rolled flat products of iron, non-alloy or other alloy steel originating in Brazil, Iran, the Russian Federation and Ukraine imposed by the following European Union (EU) instrument is to be transitioned:
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1795 of 5 October 2017 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain hot-rolled flat products of iron, non-alloy or other alloy steel originating in Brazil, Iran, Russia and Ukraine and terminating the investigation on imports of certain hot-rolled flat products of iron, non-alloy or other alloy steel originating in Serbia.
Transition of EU trade remedies measure
This determination follows a call for evidence conducted by the Department for International Trade to identify anti-dumping and countervailing duties imposed by the EU that should be transitioned into the United Kingdom (UK) system. For further information please refer to the trade measures transition policy guidance.
Effect of determination
The identified trade remedies measure will be transitioned so it will continue to apply when the UK begins operating an independent trade remedies system. This is once the UK ceases to apply the EU’s Common External Tariff, unless this notice is revoked or the EU terminates the measure before the UK begins operating an independent trade remedies system.
A transition review will be conducted to assess whether the trade remedies measure is appropriate to the UK. The Trade Remedies Authority (or pending establishment, the Secretary of State) will assess whether the measure is necessary or sufficient to prevent or remove injury to UK industry and whether there would be injury to UK industry if it were no longer applied.
The result of the transition review will be a recommendation (or, pending establishment of the Trade Remedies Authority, a preliminary determination) that the measure be varied or revoked.
The Rt Hon Liz Truss MP
Secretary of State for International Trade
