The UK Department for Business and Trade has announced that antidumping duties on certain cold-rolled flat steel products originating from China and Russia expired on August 5, 2026, rendering the relevant trade remedies notice no longer applicable.
The measures had been in place for five years, effective from August 5, 2021, following a transition review conducted by the UK Trade Remedies Authority. The duty rates ranged from 19.7 percent to 22.1 percent for Chinese exporters and from 18.7 percent to 36.1 percent for Russian exporters.
The duties were originally imposed by the European Union and were later transitioned into UK law after the Brexit transition period ended. The UK government had decided to maintain the measures until August 5, 2026, after the Trade Remedies Authority concluded that dumping and injury to the domestic industry were likely to persist or recur should the duties be lifted.
The government has not announced any extension or replacement measure for the expired duties.
The affected products fall under UK Global Tariff codes 7209150090, 7209169000, 7209179000, 7209189100, 7209189990, 7209250090, 7209269000, 7209279000, 7209289000, 7211233010, 7211233091, 7211233099, 7211238019, 7211238095, 7211238099, 7211290019, 7211290099, 7225508000, 7226920010, and 7226920090.
