This notice was originally published on 1 July 2021.

This public notice is made by the Secretary of State under regulation 94D(2) of the Trade Remedies (Dumping and Subsidisation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019[footnote 1] and suspends, in full or in part, the application of the anti-dumping duty on corrosion resistant steel goods originating in China in relation to goods to which the tariff-rate quota on steel goods is also applicable.

Suspension of anti-dumping duty on corrosion resistant steel goods originating in China

Anti-dumping duty suspended

This notice relates to the additional amounts of import duty applicable to cold-rolled flat steel goods originating in Russia under:

(a) Taxation Notice 2020/20: Anti-dumping duty on certain corrosion resistant steels originating in the People’s Republic of China (“TN 2020/20”); and

(b) Trade Remedies Notice 2021/01: Tariff-rate quota on steel goods (“TRN 2021/01”).
