With a number of anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures set to expire in 2026, the UK body responsible for overseeing these measures, the Trades Remedies Authority (TRA), has told UK producers that they can apply for an expiry review if they want the measures to be retained in place.
The period for industry to request an expiry review for the measures concerned runs to the end October 2025 with the products concerned being welded steel tubes and pipes, rainbow trout, biodiesel, glass fibre and wire rods.
Details of how to apply for a trade remedies investigation can be found HERE, where the TRA explains that producers wishing to apply should believe that the expiry of these measures could lead to a resurgence of dumping or subsidisation that would cause injury to their industry.
They will therefore need to provide sufficient evidence that allowing the measures to lapse would be likely to result in continued or recurring harm to their business.
The TRA warns: “If a request is not submitted between January to October 2025 for these measures, this would result in the relevant measure expiring automatically in January 2026 and potentially leave domestic producers vulnerable to imports at unfair prices.”
The TRA ‘s Pre-Application Office, which can be contacted by emailing contact@traderemedies.gov.uk, offers support in explaining the review process, reviewing submitted information and checking draft applications and requests for reviews.
