[Withdrawn] Anti

From 16 June 2022, anti-dumping duty on these products from China requires importers to provide HMRC with a bank guarantee until the provision expires.

The date of implementation for this measure has been postponed. This tariff stop press notice has been withdrawn as the guidance it contained is being reviewed. A further update will be issued shortly.

Important information for importers of aluminium extrusions from China.

The Secretary of State for International Trade has accepted the Trade Remedies Authority's (TRA) recommendation to require a guarantee from importers in respect of certain aluminium extrusions from China.

Importers of these products must provide HMRC with a bank guarantee whilst this provisional remedy is in place.

From 16 June 2022, these changes will take effect.

A provisional tariff will apply to goods from China falling within the goods description and commodity codes listed in this notice. The provisional tariff is to be covered by the guarantee, and is not payable during the period of the provisional remedy.

Duty rates between 9.50% and 22.35% will apply to imports from the Chinese companies detailed in this notice that have co-operated with the Trade Remedies Authority investigation.

For all other Chinese exporters, a duty rate of 128.17% will apply.

Importers of goods from China must secure a bank guarantee equal to the estimated provisional anti-dumping amount due on their imports.

The guaranteed amount will only become payable if definitive measures are imposed. The amount paid will be at the duty rate set out in the definitive measures.

Importers of the goods in this notice need to apply to HMRC for a general guarantee account and obtain a bank guarantee for the provisional anti-dumping duty applicable to their imports.
