Secretary of State accepts TRA recommendation to maintain anti-dumping duties on Russian ammonium nitrate

The Secretary of State for Business and Trade has accepted the Trade Remedies Authority (TRA)’s final recommendation to maintain existing anti-dumping measures on imports of ammonium nitrate from Russia for a further five years. The duties will remain at their current levels, ranging from £24,085 to £27,374 per tonne. The TRA concluded that both dumping and injury to the UK production industry, which employs approximately 500 people, would be likely to recur if the measures were removed, and that maintaining the measures is in the UK’s wider economic interest. Ammonium nitrate is used as a fertiliser in agriculture and for industrial purposes, including mining.
