Everything you need to know about UK trade remedy measures
What is anti-dumping duty?
Anti-dumping duty is an additional tariff imposed on imported goods that are being sold in the UK at below their normal value in the exporting country -- a practice known as “dumping”. These duties are designed to protect UK domestic industries from unfair competition. The UK Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) investigates complaints and recommends measures to the Secretary of State for International Trade.
How are anti-dumping duty rates determined?
The TRA conducts a detailed investigation comparing the export price of the goods to their “normal value” in the country of origin. The difference is the “dumping margin”. The duty rate is typically set to remove the injury caused to UK industry, which may be less than the full dumping margin. Different exporters from the same country may receive different duty rates depending on their individual pricing practices.
UK trade remedies after Brexit
Since leaving the EU, the UK has its own independent trade remedies regime under the Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Act 2018. The Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) is an arms-length body of the Department for Business and Trade. Many EU anti-dumping measures were “transitioned” into UK law, while the TRA also conducts its own new investigations and reviews existing measures.
What are expiry reviews?
Anti-dumping measures are not permanent. They typically last five years and are subject to “expiry reviews” (also called sunset reviews). Before a measure expires, the TRA assesses whether dumping and injury would be likely to continue or recur if the measure were removed. If so, the measure can be extended for a further period, potentially at a revised duty rate.
What is circumvention?
Circumvention occurs when exporters try to avoid anti-dumping duties by slightly modifying the product, shipping through third countries, or making minor assembly operations elsewhere. The TRA can extend anti-dumping measures to cover circumventing imports through an “anti-circumvention review”. Importers found to be involved in circumvention may face retrospective duty collection.
