_______________  
 
 
On 1 July 2021, pursuant to Article 12.1(c),  and Article 9.1 and its footnote , of the Agreeme nt on 
Safeguards , the United Kingdom notified the Committee on Safeguards following the  decision by the  
Secretary of State for International Trade on 3 0 June 2021 to extend the safeguard measure on 
certain steel imports, to not apply the measure to products originating in developing countries, and 
to cease to apply the measure in respect of certain product categories ( document  
G/SG/N/8/GBR/1/Suppl.3 - G/SG/N/10/GBR/1/Suppl.1 - G/SG/N/11/GBR/1/Suppl.11). 
The United Kingdom hereby notifies the Committee of amendments  to the measure in the 
above -mentioned notification . First, the tariff -rate quota  allocations  in product categories 6, 7, 12 
and 16 were re-adjusted  on 1 October  2021 to correctly reflect  the pa ttern of 2017-2019 annual 
average imports . The adjustments were implemented from the start of Quarter 2  (1 October  2021). 
Second, on 1 January  2022, the tariff -rate quota allocations in product category 12 was  
subsequently  split and replaced by new quota product categories with revised quota amounts . These 
are 12[a] and 12[b], covering  on the one hand alloy products and on the other , non-alloy products . 
This also included  removing commodity codes  (72 28 10 20, 72 28 20 10, 72 28 2 0 91, 72 28 30 
49, 72 28 60 80, 72 28 70 90, 72 28 80 00)  previously included in product category 12 from the 
new product categories 12[a] and 12[b ]. This adjustment was implement ed from the start of 
Quarter  3 (1 January  2022).

Remedies Authority (TRA) , on 7 September  2021, notified to the Committee on 9 September  2021 
is still ongoing  (document G/SG/N/6/GBR/1 – G/SG/N/8/GBR/1/Suppl.4 – 
G/SG/N/10/GBR/1/Suppl.2 – G/SG/N/11/1/Suppl.2 ).
