The UK Government has today (12 March 2026) accepted the TRA’s recommendation to impose a new anti-dumping measure on imports of tin mill products (a type of steel) from China, following evidence of dumping that has caused injury to the UK’s tin mill industry.
The investigation followed an application from Tata Steel UK, which claimed it was suffering injury as a result of dumped imports of tin mill products from China, News Cover reports, citing the UK government's official website.
In its Final Determination, the TRA recommended an individual duty of 27.85% for the cooperating Chinese company (Shougang Group) and 49.98% for all other Chinese exporters.
Tin mill products play a vital role in UK manufacturing supply chains. They are widely used in packaging due to properties that include paint adhesion, heat resistance, sturdiness and recyclability.
