Aug 28, 2023TRA opens exemption review for UK importer of bicycle parts
The TRA has begun reviewing an application from a UK importer to be exempted from an anti-dumping duty on certain bicycle parts from China.
The Trade Remedies Authority has today 14 August 2023 begun reviewing an application from a UK importer, Frog Bikes Limited, to be exempted from an anti-dumping duty on certain bicycle parts from China.
At present, importers are required to pay a 48.5% duty on imports.
Frog Bikes Limited is applying to be exempted from this following a planned change in company structure: Frog Bikes Manufacturing Limited, which currently holds an exemption to the measure, will cease to exist. Therefore, Frog Bikes Limited, the importer’s parent company, is now applying for an exemption.
In its application, Frog Bikes Limited has stated it is not related to an overseas exporter subject to the measure and that it is not engaged in circumvention of the measure.
The TRA has accepted the application for review and will recommend that the Secretary of State for Business and Trade implements a temporary suspension of the duty for Frog Bikes Limited’s goods until the review is complete.
The TRA’s investigation will undertake appropriate checks to gain assurance on the following:
Once the review is complete, the TRA may recommend to the Secretary of State to exempt Frog Bikes Limited goods from the duty.
The anti-dumping measure on certain bicycle parts from China was transitioned when the UK left the EU. The TRA is required to initiate a Transition Review on this anti-dumping measure before 30 August 2024.
An exemption review assesses whether an importer or overseas exporter can demonstrate that they are not involved in circumventing a trade remedy measure and therefore should be exempted from it.
