The TRA has begun reviewing an application from The Martlet Group to be exempted from an anti-dumping duty on certain bicycle parts from China
The Trade Remedies Authority has today (17 October 2022) begun reviewing an application from a UK importer, The Martlet Group, to be exempted from an anti-dumping duty on certain bicycle parts from China.
The Martlet Group, which sells bikes in the UK under the Orro brand, submitted the application for exemption on the basis that it has not circumvented the UK trade remedies measure.
As the TRA has accepted the application for review, it will recommend that the Secretary of State for International Trade implements a temporary suspension of the duty for The Martlet Group’s goods until the review is complete. Once the TRA has completed its review it will make a recommendation to the Secretary of State either to exempt the goods from the duty or for the duty to be applied for the length of the measure.
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.
