UK Suspends Antidumping Duty on Hot-Rolled Steel Products From Ukraine
The U.K. suspended its antidumping duty on hot-rolled flat products of iron, non-alloy or other alloy steel from Ukraine, the Department for International Trade announced Aug. 30. The move accepts the Trade Remedies Authority's recommendation to suspend the antidumping duties on the Ukrainian good for nine months, a decision made after the agency found that market conditions for Ukrainian hot-rolled steel changed following Russia's invasion. The TRA said injury to the U.K. industry is unlikely to happen with a nine-month suspension.
