The Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) has today (30 September 2024) initiated a transition review into an anti-dumping measure on ironing boards from China. You can find more detailed information about this review on the investigation's public file.
The TRA will be reviewing the anti-dumping measure transitioned from the EU to determine whether it is still suitable for the UK's needs. The measure is due to expire on 3 October 2024. The current anti-dumping duties range between 18.1% and 39.6%.
The period of investigation for this transition review is 1 July 2023 until 30 June 2024. The injury period is 1 July 2020 until 30 June 2024.
Businesses that may be affected by these measures can register their interest through our public file by 14 October 2024. We rely on evidence provided by businesses for our key assessments.
Interested parties that register after 14 October may not be able to participate fully in the review. Any new case developments will be posted on the TRA's public file.
Notes:
- The TRA is the UK body that investigates whether trade remedy measures are needed to counter unfair trading practices and unforeseen surges of imports.
- Trade remedy investigations were carried out by the European Commission on the UK's behalf until the UK left the EU. A number of EU trade remedy measures of interest to UK producers were transitioned into UK law when the UK left the EU and the TRA has been reviewing each one as they approach expiry to assess whether they are suitable for the UK's needs.
- Anti-dumping duties allow a country or union to counter the exporting of goods into the country for sale at less than their normal value - this is defined as the price for 'like goods' sold in the exporter's home market.
