Some UK anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures will expire in 2026. Affected UK producers can apply for an expiry review if they want the measures to be kept.
In 2026, some anti-dumping and countervailing trade remedy measures that currently defend UK businesses from unfair trading practices will expire. The window for affected domestic producers to apply for an expiry review has now opened.
The period for industry to request an expiry review for the measures listed below runs from January 2025 to end October 2025. We are already contacting the industries affected by the measures, but producers should be ready to consider now if they will request an expiry review to TRA.
The measures that expire in January 2026 cover the following goods:
- Welded steel tubes and pipes
- Rainbow trout
- Biodiesel
- Glass fibre
- Wire rods
UK producers of these goods that believe the expiry of these measures could lead to a resurgence of dumping or subsidisation that would cause injury to their industry can apply for an expiry review. To complete the application process , producers will need to provide sufficient evidence that allowing the measures to lapse would be likely to result in continued or recurring harm to their business.
Requests for expiry reviews for the measures listed above must be submitted between January and October 2025. Interested UK producers should consider if they need to act now to ask the TRA to investigate if there is a case for extending the measure.
If a request is not submitted between January to October 2025 for these measures, this would result in the relevant measure expiring automatically in January 2026 and potentially leave domestic producers vulnerable to imports at unfair prices.
