The UK government has decided to extend its antidumping measures on wire rod imports from China for a further five years, accepting the recommendation made by the UK Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) following an expiry review. The new trade remedies notice was published on September 10 and entered into force on September 11, 2026.
According to the government notice, the antidumping measure will remain in place until January 28, 2031. The TRA recommended maintaining the existing duty rates, as it did not consider it appropriate to recalculate the antidumping amounts during the expiry review.
Antidumping duties remain at 7.9-24 percent
Under the extended measure, Chinese producer Valin Group will remain subject to an antidumping duty of 7.9 percent, while all other Chinese exporters will continue to face antidumping duty of 24 percent.
The TRA launched the expiry review on January 28, 2026, which covered the period between October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025. According to the TRA, the review indicates that dumping and injury to the UK industry would likely continue or recur if the existing measures were allowed to expire, as SteelOrbis previously reported.
