This notice was originally published on 8 September 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 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 recommendation from the Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) 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 the UK industry. The TRA also finds 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, HM Revenue and Customs (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.
For those who 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.
For those who 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. Contact the TRA to ask questions via the following email: AD0087@traderemedies.gov.uk
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 concerned is specified in Annex 1.
