The Trade Remedies Authority has today (Friday 11 June) published its final recommendation to the Secretary of State for International Trade on the future of the UK’s steel safeguard measure.

The Trade Remedies Authority has today (Friday 11 June) published its final recommendation to the Secretary of State for International Trade on the future of the UK’s steel safeguard measure. After reviewing available evidence, the independent body has recommended the extension of the UK steel safeguard measure across 10 product categories for a further three years, and the revocation of the measure across nine product categories.

Pursuant to the relevant regulations, the Secretary of State will now decide whether to accept the TRA’s recommendation or to reject it.

The TRA published a statement of intended preliminary decision (SIPD) on 19 May, giving producers, importers, exporters, other interested parties and contributors who provided information during the review process, the opportunity to comment on its initial findings. The recommendation to the Secretary of State takes into account close analysis of the 44 submissions that were made to the TRA following the SIPD.

Halloween wasn’t just a marketing opportunity for this company, for Jasper & Veil Ltd.; it was peak season. Their custom ghoulish gift boxes were packed with ghost-shaped biscuits, spooky mugs, novelty sweets, and glow-in-the-dark clothing, and flew off the shelves faster than you could say “trick or treat.”

Export and import controls aren't just red tape…. They are serious! The penalties are real, and the ghosts of mistakes past are hard to banish. So this Halloween, double-check your HS codes, origin declarations, OGEL conditions, and valuation methods. Because nothing's scarier than the words: "You are under investigation."
