The Secretary of State for International Trade has approved new anti-dumping measures recommended by TRA against Aluminium Extrusions from China.
The government has today [16 December 2022] agreed with the Trade Remedies Authority’s recommendation that a new anti-dumping duty be applied to imports of Aluminium Extrusions from China to the UK.
The TRA’s investigation, initiated at the request of producers of Aluminium Extrusions in the UK, found that imports are being dumped into the UK at unfair prices and causing injury to domestic producers. The investigation identified seven UK producers of Aluminium Extrusions, four of which had a combined annual turnover of £155 million and employed more than 1000 people.
The TRA’s interim report, the Statement of Essential Facts, published in May invited interested parties to comment. The TRA considered these comments and submitted a final recommendation to the Secretary of State for International Trade who agreed that the new trade remedy measure should be put in place on these imports in the form of a tariff at the border. This tariff will come into effect from 17 December 2022.
