The UK government will extend anti-dumping measures on imports of cold rolled flat steel from China and Russia as UK’s Secretary of State for International Trade has accepted a recommendation from the UK Trade Remedies Authority to take the step. As part of its assessment, the TRA found that extending the anti-dumping measure for a further five years would be in the economic interest of the UK. It also concluded that cold rolled flat steel from China and Russia would likely be dumped in the UK if the measure were to be removed, causing injury to UK producers. TRA review said “For China, we assessed the likelihood of dumping on a countrywide basis only, rather than an exporter-by-exporter basis. This is due to the non-cooperation of Chinese exporters, which resulted in no suitable data being available to the TRA on individual companies. For Russia, we assessed the likelihood of dumping both on a countrywide basis, and individually for the exporter Severstal, who were the only fully cooperating Russian exporter.”Angang Steel& Tianjin Angang – 19.7%All others China – 20.5-22.1%MMK - 18.7%Severstal - 34.0%All other Russia - 36.1%The commodity codes included in this measure are:72 09 15 00 90, 72 09 16 90 00, 72 09 17 90 00, 72 09 18 91 00, 72 09 18 99 90, 72 09 25 00 90, 72 09 26 90 00, 72 09 27 90 00, 72 09 28 90 00, 72 11 23 30 10, 72 11 23 30 91, 72 11 23 30 99, 72 11 23 80 19, 72 11 23 80 95, 72 11 23 80 99, 72 11 29 00 19, 72 11 29 00 99, 72 25 50 80 00, 72 26 92 00 10, 72 26 92 00 90Cold rolled flat steel is used in manufacturing of vehicles and domestic appliances, like fridges as well as other goods.
