Trade remedies notice 2026/23: provisional anti-dumping duty on boom lifts originating from China

Updated 19 August 2026

This notice was originally published on 19 August 2026 with effect from the day after the date of publication.

Secretary of State’s decision on provisional measures

This public notice is published by the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade under paragraph 15(5) of Schedule 4 of the Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Act 2018 (‘the Act’).

This public notice gives effect to the Secretary of State’s decision to accept the Trade Remedies Authority’s (TRA) recommendation within its provisional affirmative determination to apply provisional measures.

The determination found that the goods concerned which are imported into the UK and originate from China are being dumped and have caused or are causing injury to UK industry. The TRA also found that the application of provisional measures meets the economic interest test and is in the economic interest of the UK.

TRA’s recommendation

The TRA’s recommendation is:

• to apply a provisional anti-dumping duty to goods subject to the measure, to the exporters specified in Annex 1 of this notice

• to require all importers of the goods to give a guarantee in respect of the estimated anti-dumping duty applicable to their imports, for a period of 6 months, or until a definitive remedy is implemented, whichever is sooner

• for the guarantee, which the TRA has found meets the economic interest of the UK, to take the form of a bank guarantee, bond or cash

All importers of the goods are therefore required to give a guarantee in accordance with the recommendation and this notice made under paragraph 15(5) of Schedule 4 to the Act.

The guarantee will be required during the period of the provisional remedy. The provisional remedy will end 6 months from the day after the date of the publication of the taxation notice, or when a definitive remedy is implemented, whichever is sooner.

The guaranteed amount will only become payable if definitive measures are imposed. It is recommended that the guarantee amount should be calculated by applying the provisional anti-dumping duty, which is an ad valorem duty, to the customs value of the goods concerned.

For those who:

• provide a bank guarantee, HMRC will return guarantee documents through the usual channels if a definitive measure is not imposed. In cases where the definitive duty rate is equal to or less than the provisional duty, bank guarantee documents will be returned when HMRC are satisfied that any outstanding duty has been collected

• secure a bond, HMRC will offer a reimbursement through usual channels if a definitive measure is not imposed or if the definitive duty rate is less than the provisional duty rate

• pay a cash deposit, HMRC will offer a reimbursement through usual channels if a definitive measure is not imposed or if the definitive duty rate is less than the provisional duty rate

The public file section of the TRA’s website is regularly updated with information relating to the case. Interested parties can use this to increase their understanding of the investigation or supply the TRA with evidence at future opportunities.

The TRA will submit a final recommendation to the Secretary of State before the end of the investigation.

Amount of provisional anti-dumping duty

If a definitive anti-dumping duty is imposed when the investigation concludes, HMRC will collect the appropriate amount secured by the bank guarantee, bond or cash deposit.

Where the definitive duty applicable to the relevant overseas exporter is lower than the corresponding provisional duty, only the amount of the definitive duty will be collected. Where the definitive duty is higher than the corresponding provisional duty, only the amount secured under the provisional duty will be collected.

The provisional anti-dumping duty applicable to the goods is specified in Annex 1.
