This public notice was published on 14 November 2024 with effect from the day after the date of publication.
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 gives effect to the Secretary of State’s decision to accept the Trade Remedies Authority’s (‘TRA’) recommendation to vary the measure on steel ropes and cables from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) by extending the measure for a further 5 years, (including steel ropes and cables consigned from Morocco, and the Republic of South Korea). This public notice supersedes Taxation Notice 2020/21.
This public notice:
- relates to steel ropes and cables (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 measure by extending the existing duty rate set out in Taxation Notice 2020/21: anti-dumping duty on steel ropes and cables from the PRC (including steel ropes and cables consigned from Morocco and the Republic of South Korea) (‘Taxation Notice 2020/21‘) for a further 5 years, until 21 April 2028
- supersedes Taxation Notice 2020/21
Summary of the transition review
The TRA initiated a transition review of the relevant trade measures relating to steel ropes and cables originating from the PRC (including consignments from Morocco and the Republic of South Korea).
During the assessment, they publicly consulted and received responses regarding the description of the goods subject to review. Having considered the responses to the consultation and having conducted the assessment, the TRA has recommended varying the measure by extending the duty rates for 5 years. The TRA recommended that the rates of the anti-dumping duty remain unchanged.
The TRA determined that, if the measure were no longer applied, dumping of the goods subject to review and injury would recur for UK producers of steel ropes and cables. The TRA have concluded that their recommendation is in the economic interest of the UK.

Details on the additional amounts of import duty, and additional Tariff Application Platform (TAP) codes are specified in Table 1. Specifically, the additional amount of import duty (the anti-dumping duty) is applicable to the net, free-at-the-frontier price, before other amounts of import duty, of goods subject to duty (described below) originating in the PRC, including consignments from, whether or not declared as originating in, Morocco or the Republic of South Korea, is specified in Table 1.
