This public notice was published on 17 October 2024 by the Secretary of State under paragraph 29 of Schedule 4 of the Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Act 2018 (TCTA). 

This public notice instructs HMRC to register the importation of biodiesel originating from China (the ‘goods’ it relates to are described under the heading ‘goods description’ below).  

Registration of the goods

This public notice gives effect to the Secretary of State’s decision under paragraph 29 of Schedule 4 to TCTA to accept the Trade Remedies Authority’s (TRA) recommendation to require HMRC to register the goods, which are the subject of an ongoing investigation and to which an anti-dumping amount may be applied.

From 18 October 2024 HMRC will begin registering the goods.

Under regulation 91 and 92 of the Trade Remedies (Dumping and Subsidisation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, when a definitive remedy is implemented with respect to registered goods, duties may be payable from a date up to 90 days preceding the implementation of any provisional remedy (provided that this is not earlier than the date of this public notice). The level of duties charged will be determined by the definitive remedy that is implemented.  

Goods description

The goods concerned are those subject to proceedings initiated on 05 June 2024 and are defined as being ‘biodiesel fatty-acid mono-alkylesters or paraffinic gas oils obtained from synthesis or hydrotreatment of non-fossil origin in pure form or as included in a blend, excluding sustainable aviation fuel, in pure form or as included in a blend’ originating from China.
