Notice of determination 2020/01: anti-dumping duty on certain welded tubes and pipes of iron or non-alloy steel originating in Belarus, the People's Republic of China and Russian Federation

Updated 29 June 2023

Determination to transition trade remedies measure

This notice is published under regulation 96(1) of the Trade Remedies (Dumping and Subsidisation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019.

The Secretary of State for International Trade has determined the anti-dumping duty on certain welded tubes and pipes of iron or non-alloy steel originating in Belarus, the People’s Republic of China and the Russian Federation imposed by the following EU instrument is to be transitioned:

  • Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/110 of 26 January 2015 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain welded tubes and pipes of iron or non-alloy steel originating in Belarus, the People’s Republic of China and Russia and terminating the proceeding for imports of certain welded tubes and pipes of iron or non-alloy steel originating in Ukraine following an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009

Transition of EU trade remedies measure

This determination follows a Call for Evidence conducted by the Department for International Trade (DIT) to identify anti-dumping and countervailing duties imposed by the EU that matter to UK industry.

The Call for Evidence asked UK producers of goods subject to EU trade remedy measures whether they support, are neutral to, or oppose the continuation of those measures when the UK operates its independent trade remedies system. UK producers were also asked for data about their production and sales, which DIT used to assess whether the UK producers met the Call for Evidence criteria for transitioning a measure.

Effect of determination

The identified trade remedies measure will be transitioned so it will continue to apply when the UK begins operating an independent trade remedies system, once the UK ceases to apply the EU’s Common External Tariff.

A transition review will be conducted to assess whether the trade remedies measure is appropriate to the UK. The Trade Remedies Authority (or pending establishment, the Secretary of State) will assess whether the measure is necessary or sufficient to prevent or remove injury to UK industry and whether there would be injury to UK industry if it was no longer applied.

As a result, the trade remedies measure may be varied or revoked if the Trade Remedies Authority (or pending establishment, the Secretary of State) recommends doing so following the transition review.

Please note the trade remedies measure will not be transitioned if the EU terminates the measure before the UK begins operating an independent trade remedies system, once the UK ceases to apply the EU’s Common External Tariff.
