The UK’s Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) has announced findings in its expiry review of antidumping measures on imports of wire rod from China. The period of investigation was 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 a result, the TRA has recommended that the current rates on imports of wire rod from China be kept unchanged at 7.9 percent for Valin Group and 24.0 percent for other Chinese companies. The TRA has recommended the rates be extended for a further five years.
In the period of investigation, the UK imported 41,000 mt of wire rod from China. Over the longer historical period from September 2020 to September 2025, imports of wire rod from China amounted to 97,000 mt.
