Secretary of State accepts TRA recommendation to maintain anti-dumping measure on Chinese ironing boards until 2029
The Secretary of State for Business and Trade has accepted the Trade Remedies Authority (TRA)’s recommendation to maintain an anti-dumping measure on ironing boards imported from China for a further five years, until 2029. The duties will remain at their current levels, ranging from 18.1% to 42.3%, depending on the exporter. Following a transition review, the TRA concluded that maintaining the measure would help prevent the dumping of low-priced imports and subsequent injury to the UK industry, and that the measure met the Economic Interest Test. The products covered include ironing boards with or without steam soaking, heating or blowing surfaces, as well as sleeve boards and essential parts from China.
