This public notice is published by the Secretary of State under paragraph 20 (5)(a) and (c) of Schedule 4 to the Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Act 2018 ("the Act").

The public notice relates to certain aluminium extrusion goods originating from China ("the goods"). The goods are described as:

The goods are commonly referred to as ‘aluminium extrusions’, referring to their most common manufacturing process even if they can also be produced by other production processes, such as rolling, forging or casting.

The Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) initiated an investigation into allegations of dumping of the goods on 21 June 2021, following an application by industry, covering the period from 1 June 2020 to 31 May 2021.

The TRA has determined that certain overseas exporters from China have been dumping the goods in the UK. The TRA has also determined that UK industry has suffered material injury during the injury period, and that the dumped goods were the cause of that injury. The TRA has recommended levels of anti-dumping duty as set out in Annex 1 below, having calculated dumping margins pursuant to paragraph 2 of Schedule 4 of the Act. The TRA has determined that the Economic Interest Test (EIT) is met in relation to the application of an anti-dumping remedy, in accordance with paragraph 25(2) of Schedule 4 of the Act. The TRA has recommended that the Secretary of State impose an ad-valorem anti-dumping duty for a period of 5 years on the goods which are subject to the final affirmative determination.

The TRA also made a final negative determination for goods from China with a maximum cross-sectional dimension of greater than 310mm, or a weight greater than 14kg/m. These goods were determined not to be manufactured in the UK and have not or are not causing injury to UK industry. The TRA also determined that the company Shandong Nanshan is not dumping and recommended a zero rate of anti-dumping duty be applied to its goods.

This public notice gives effect to the Secretary of State's decision to accept the TRA's final recommendation on definitive measures, which found that the goods are being dumped into the UK and have caused or are causing injury to UK industry and applies definitive measures ("the definitive measures").

The TRA's recommendation was:

All importers of the goods from the period of the provisional measure entering into force to the date of effect of this public notice will be able to claim a reimbursement where applicable. Conditions to meet this are in the "Reimbursement" section.

For further detail on the provisional measures, please see taxation notice 2022/03.

The rates of the anti-dumping amount specified in Annex 1 apply to the goods as described in this notice or imported under a commodity code specified in the table below titled "UK Global Tariff commodity codes subject to the anti-dumping amount" unless covered by the excluded goods description.

Certain goods are excluded from the measure. The reason for their exclusion and descriptions of these goods are found below.

The following goods were not part of the investigation and are not included in the measure:

The following goods are also excluded. These goods were part of the investigation but were found not to be manufactured, or likely to be manufactured, in the UK and therefore have not or are not injuring UK industry:

The TRA has published a notice of negative determination setting this out in greater detail.

The codes to exclude these goods are found in Annex 2.
