This public notice was published on 15 June 2026 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 public notice:

The anti-dumping duty applies to goods described, or imported under a commodity code specified.

Goods description

High fatigue performance iron or steel concrete reinforcing bars and rods made of iron, non-alloy steel or alloy steel (but excluding of stainless steel, high-speed steel and silico-manganese steel), not further worked than hot-rolled, but including those twisted after rolling.

These bars and rods contain indentations, ribs, grooves or other deformations produced during the rolling process or are twisted after rolling. The key characteristic of high fatigue performance is the ability to endure repeated stress without breaking and, specifically, the ability to resist in excess of 4.5 million fatigue cycles using a stress ratio (min/max) of 0.2 and a stress range exceeding 150 MegaPascal.

Commodity codes

The goods are imported under the following commodity codes:

  • 7214200010
  • 7228302000
  • 7228304100
  • 7228304900
  • 7228306100
  • 7228306911
  • 7228307000
  • 7228308900

Imposition date

This public notice takes effect and applies from 15 June 2026.

Expiry date

Under regulation 70(9) of the Trade Remedies (Dumping and Subsidisation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, the anti-dumping duty which applies to the goods subject to the expiry review initiated on 15 June 2026 as specified in the Trade Remedies Authority (TRA)’s notice of initiation is to be treated as continuing.

This is until the TRA has made a determination that the application of the relevant countervailing duty to some or all of the goods subject to review should expire or the Secretary of State has accepted or rejected the TRA’s recommendation.
