Transition review TD0063: transition review of an anti-dumping measures applying to ironing boards originating from China

On 30 September 2024, the TRA published a Notice of Initiation to initiate a transition review of the UK measure relating to ironing boards originating from China. Further information on the investigation can be found on the TRA’s public file. 

Summary of the transition review

The TRA initiated a transition review of the relevant trade measure relating to ironing boards originating in China. During the assessment, it publicly consulted and received 2 responses from UK industry and China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM). The UK industry participated and sent a questionnaire response which was verified. The TRA determined whether these measures should be varied or revoked. For more information on this process, see TRA guidance.

Having conducted its assessment, the TRA determined that the importation of the dumped goods would be likely to continue or recur if the anti-dumping measures were no longer applied to those goods and that it is likely that injury to UK industry in the like goods would recur if the anti-dumping measure were no longer applied to the goods subject to review. The TRA advised the Secretary of State that the variation of the anti-dumping measure in accordance with its recommendation meets the economic interest test.

Recommendation of the TRA

The TRA recommended that, the application of the anti-dumping amount should be varied so that it applies until 3 October 2029. This is 5 years subsequent to the date when the measure would have otherwise expired (3 October 2024 had the transition review not been initiated). In addition, the TRA recommended maintaining the existing duty rates ranging from 18.1% to 42.3% (see Table 1).

Expiry of the anti-dumping duty

The anti-dumping duty on the goods given effect to by this public notice ceases to apply on 3 October 2029.

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.
