The UK will continue countervailing duties on certain organic coated steel products from China, following its transition review.
The review recommended maintaining the existing duty rates and extending their application from 4 May 2024 until 4 May 2029, according to a Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) notice.
The TRA recommended that the measure be maintained on the goods at the existing amount as it had not been possible for the TRA to recalculate the countervailing amount.
The goods covered include painted or plastic-coated flat-rolled steel products (excluding stainless steel, sandwich panels, zinc-dust coated items, and those with chromium or tin coatings), under the commodity codes 72 10 70 80 11, 72 12 40 80 21, 72 25 99 00 91, 72 10 70 80 91, 72 12 40 80 82, 72 26 99 70 11, 72 12 40 80 01, 72 25 99 00 11 and 72 26 99 70, Kallanish notes.
Duties range from 13.7% to 44.7%, depending on the exporter.
The countervailing duty is applicable to the net, free-at-the-frontier price before other amounts of import duty, on the product imported into the UK originating from China.
The duty will expire on 4 May 2029, unless an expiry review is initiated.
