This public notice was published on 10 September 2026 and will come into effect from the day after the date of publication (11 September 2026). This public notice supersedes Trade remedies notice 2022/07: anti-dumping duty on Wire Rod originating from 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 recommendation of the Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) to vary the application of the anti-dumping measure on wire rod originating from China by extending the measure for a further 5 years in accordance with the public notice.
The public notice:
- relates to wire rod originating from China (the ‘goods’ it relates to, are described under the heading ‘goods description’)
- gives effect to the TRA’s recommendation to vary the measure by extending the existing duty rate set out in taxation notice 2022/07: anti-dumping duty on Wire Rod originating from China for a further 5 years and varying the description of goods to which the anti-dumping duty applies
- supersedes taxation notice 2022/07
Goods description
The anti-dumping duty applies to wire rod products originating from China, described as “bars and rods, hot-rolled, in irregularly wound coils, of iron, non-alloy steel or alloy steel other than of stainless-steel”.
Expiry review ER0082: expiry review of anti-dumping applying to wire rod originating from China
On 28 January 2026, the TRA published a Notice of Initiation to initiate an expiry review of the UK measure relating to wire rod originating from 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 amount. 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.

The goods are imported under the following commodity codes:
- 72 13 10 00

Variation of application of anti-dumping duty on the goods
The application of the anti-dumping duty on the goods is varied from 28 January 2026, that is, the date when the measure would have otherwise expired had no transition review been initiated.
Expiry of the anti-dumping duty
The countervailing duty on the goods given effect by this public notice will cease to apply on 28 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.
