The UK’s Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) has announced that the UK government has accepted its recommendation to extend its suspension of trade remedy measures on imports of hot rolled flat and coil (HRFC) steel from Ukraine for a further one year from May 30.
The measures were suspended in August last year for nine months, as SteelOrbis previously reported.
In addition, the TRA is also reviewing antidumping measures on imports of the given products from China, Russia, Ukraine, Brazil and Iran. In its initial conclusions, the authority proposed to extend the measures on imports from China, Russia, Brazil and Iran, but to remove them for Ukraine, as it concluded that dumping of products from Ukraine was unlikely to recur, due to the reduction in the country’s production capacity and limits on its export due to the war.
