The UK Government has launched a Call for Evidence on the Future of the UK Trade Strategy, seeking industry input on trade policy, international agreements, and measures to strengthen the UK’s global competitiveness. This is a crucial opportunity for the aluminium sector to influence policy decisions and ensure that our industry’s needs are fully considered in shaping future trade agreements.

Why This Matters to the Aluminium Industry
With ongoing discussions around tariffs, market access, and regulatory alignment, the aluminium industry must provide clear evidence on the challenges and opportunities facing businesses.
This consultation will directly impact areas such as:
- Aluminium scrap exports and trade flows
- Reciprocal trade agreements and global competitiveness
- Sustainability and resource efficiency in international trade
- The impact of tariffs on aluminium products and supply chains
How to Respond
The Committee invites interested individuals and organisations to submit written evidence to the inquiry by 7 March 2025.
ALFED strongly encourages all members to submit evidence and share their perspectives on key trade barriers, policy priorities, and the support needed from government.
Your input is vital in ensuring that the aluminium industry is represented at the highest level. If you require guidance on how to frame your response or key industry points to include, please get in touch with the ALFED team.
