The Trade Remedies Authority carried out an investigation on dumping allegations covering the period June 2020 to May 2021, finding Chinese exporters have been dumping their products in the U.K. and that the domestic industry was materially harmed by these dumped goods. As a result, the U.K. imposed the duties, though it excluded aluminum structures or parts of structures, subassemblies, products imported in a finished goods kit, and welded tubes and pipes.
The duties range from 0% to 15.6%, with all non-individually examined cooperating exporters getting a 15.4% dumping rate.
