This public notice was published on 20 August 2026 and will come into effect from the day after the date of publication (21 August 2026). This public notice supersedes Taxation notice 2023/09: anti-dumping duty on welded tubes and pipes originating from Belarus and China.
Secretary of State’s decision
This public notice is published by the Secretary of State under subsection 13(4) of the Taxation (Cross-Border Trade) Act 2018 and regulation 70(10) of the Trade Remedies (Dumping and Subsidisation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (‘the Regulations’).
This public notice gives effect to the Secretary of State’s decision to accept the Trade Remedies Authority’s (TRA) recommendation to vary the application of the anti-dumping measure on welded tubes and pipes originating from Belarus and China by extending the measure for a further 5 years in accordance with the public notice.
The public notice:
-
relates to welded tubes and pipes originating from Belarus and China (the ‘goods’ it relates to are described under the heading ‘Goods description’ below)
-
gives effect to the TRA’s recommendation to vary the measure by extending the existing duty rate set out in Taxation notice 2023/09: anti-dumping duty on welded tubes and pipes originating from Belarus and China for a further 5 years and varying the description of goods to which the anti-dumping duty applies
-
supersedes Taxation notice 2023/09
Goods description
The anti-dumping duty applies to welded tubes and pipes, of circular cross-section, of iron or non-alloy steel, and of an external diameter not exceeding 168.3mm, excluding:
-
line pipe of a kind used for oil or gas pipelines
-
casing and tubing of a kind used in drilling for oil or gas
-
precision tubes
-
tubes and pipes with attached fittings suitable for conducting gases or liquids for use in civil aircraft
Expiry review ER0081: expiry review of anti-dumping applying to welded tubes and pipes originating from Belarus and China
On 27 January 2026, the TRA published a Notice of Initiation to initiate an expiry review of the UK measure relating to welded tubes and pipes originating from Belarus and China.
Summary of the expiry review
During the expiry review, the TRA publicly consulted and received responses from interested parties regarding whether the goods, or the description of the goods, to which the anti-dumping amount applies should be varied.
Having considered the responses to the consultation and having conducted its assessment, the TRA recommended that the application of the anti-dumping amount should be extended so that it applies until 30 January 2031, 5 years subsequent to the date when the measure would have otherwise expired (30 January 2026) had the expiry review not been initiated.
In addition, the TRA recommended that the measure be maintained on the relevant goods at the existing amount as it had not been appropriate for the TRA to recalculate the anti-dumping amounts. The TRA recommended extending the anti-dumping amount to all goods subject to the review, as no evidence was received to support excluding any goods.
Commodity codes
The goods are imported under the following commodity codes:
-
73 06 30 41 20
-
73 06 30 72 80
-
73 06 30 77 80
-
73 06 30 49 20
Variation of application of anti-dumping duty on the goods
The application of the anti-dumping duty on the goods is varied from 30 January 2026, that is, the date when the measure would have otherwise expired had no expiry review been initiated.
Expiry of the anti-dumping duty
The anti-dumping duty on the goods given effect by this public notice will cease to apply on 30 January 2031.
The TRA will notify interested parties of the expiry of the anti-dumping duty in sufficient time to allow an interested party to make an application for an expiry review.
