THE AGREEMENT ON SAFEGUARDS  
UNITED KINGDOM  
Certain steel products  
Supplement  
The following communication, dated and received on 1 Ju ly 2021, is being circulated at the request 
of the delegation of  the United Kingdom . 
 
_______________  
 
 
Pursuant to Article 12.1(c)  and Article 9.1 and its footnote  of the Agreement on Safeguards, and 
following the decision by the Secretary of State of International Trade on 30 June 2021, the 
United  Kingdom submits a notification upon taking the decision to  extend  the safeguard measure  on 
steel imports, taking the decision not to apply the measure to products originating in developi ng 
countries, and the decision to cease to apply the measure in respect of certain product categories.  
 
The review was initiated on 1 October 2020, and notification was provided to the Committee on 
Safeguards on 8 October 2020 (notification symbol  G/SG/N/6/GBR/1 ). 
 
On 21 May 2 021, the United Kingdom notified the Committee on finding serious injury or threat 
thereof caused  by increased imports to the domestic industry producing certain steel products 
(notification symbol G/SG/N/8/GBR/1 ). 
 
On 11 June 2021, the United Kingdom notified the Committee upon f urther finding of serious injury 
or threat thereof, taking the decision to extend the safeguard measure on steel imports, and taking 
the decision not to apply the measure to products originating in developing countries (notification 
symbol G/SG/N/8/GBR/Suppl.1 - G/SG/N/10/GBR/1 - G/SG/N/11/GBR/1 ). This notification reflected 
the fact that the competent authority, the Trade Remedies Authority (TRA), made a recommendation 
to the Secretary of State for International Trade with respect to the safeguard measure on certain 
steel products .  
 
The United Kingdom makes this notification informing the Committee of the Secretary of State 's 
decision of 30 June 2021.  
 
The notification includes a third invitation to hold consultations in accordance with Article 12.3 of 
the Agreement on Safeguards.

  1.  Provide evidence, citing relevant data and the applicable period of investigation, of 
serious injury or threat thereof caused by increased imports, including  the reasons why 
any product categories have ceased to apply.  
The UK 's competent authority, the TRA, determined whether there is serious injury or threat thereof 
caused by increased imports for each of the 19 steel product categories covered by the review. 
These product categories are listed in Table 1 of the Annex.  
The TR A's analysis and reasoning  (including public versions of the import data and injury indicators 
considered) can be found in its Statement of Intended Preliminary Decision and in its 
recommendation to the Secretary of State.  
The recommendation accounted for  additional evidence that interested parties and others had the 
opportunity to submit following the publication of the Statement of Intended Preliminary Decision.  
The Statement of Intended Preliminary Decision and the recommendation were published on the UK 
Trade Remedies Service website ( https://www.trade -remedies.service.gov.uk/public/cases/ ) on 
19 May 2021 and 11 June 2021, respectively.  
On 30 June 2021, the Secretary of State ac cepted the TRA 's recommendation to extend the measure 
with respect to ten product categories for three years, and decided to extend the measure with 
respect to five additional product categories for one year.  
The latter action allows time for further evid ence to be taken into account through any appeal 
process to the TRA. This includes a wider consideration and reassessment of data presented by 
industry, as well as an assessment of the specific and unique global market conditions which 
currently prevail, i ncluding the risk of injury arising from diverted imports onto the UK market.  
2.  Provide information on whether there is an absolute increase in imports or an increase 
in imports relative to domestic production (please see also Article 2.1 for the contex t).  
The absolute increase in imports has been assessed using import data for the period of investigation 
from HMRC UK Trade Info , the official HM Revenue & Customs portal for the publication and hosting 
of UK trade statistics data. The relative increase in imports has been assessed against UK production. 
The UK production data was provided by UK Steel and the sampled UK producers.  
 
The TRA had determined that the increase in imports of steel products in the UK has been the result 
of unforeseen developments. These have amounted to a number of factors, which have established 
and aggravated imbalances in the international trade of the g oods subject to review. The TRA's 
analysis on the absolute and relative increase in imports respectively can be found in its Statement 
of Intended Preliminary Decision and its recommendation.  
3.  Provide the precise description of the product involved.  
The product concerned is certain steel products. Table 1 of the Annex contains a full description of 
all goods that were subject to the review.  
4.  If the final measure replaces a provisional measure, or if a final measure is extended, 
a Member is encouraged  to provide a written description of any part of the imported 
product that will no longer be subject to the measure and the Harmonized System 
numbers under which it enters at least at a 6 -digit level, and at a sub -national level (e.g., 
8-digit, 9 -digit or 10-digit level) if practicable.  
Table 2 of the Annex lists the product categories that will no longer be subject to the measure.  
5.  Provide precise description of the proposed measure.  
For product categories 1, 2, 4, 5, 13, 19, 20, 21, 25A, 25B, and 26, tariff rate quotas (TRQs) and 
an out -of-quota safeguarding duty of 25% are applied and extended for a period of three years.  G/SG/N/8/GBR/1/Suppl.3 • G/SG/N/10/GBR/1/Suppl.1 • G/SG/N/11/GBR/1/Suppl.1  
 
- 3 - 
 
  For product categories 6, 7, 12, 16, and 17, TRQs and an out -of-quota safeguarding duty of 25% 
are applied and extended for a peri od of one year.  
Details of the product categories subject to the extended measure can be found in Table 3 in the 
Annex.  
TRQ volumes for each category were calculated based on 2017 -2019 annual average imports, or 
where that would mean a more restrictive q uota than is currently in place, the existing quota volume 
plus 3% liberalisation.  
For all product categories, the proposed liberalisation rate for the measure had been set at 3% for 
each year that the measure is in place, thereby ensuring that the pace of  liberalisation is maintained. 
This means that the quota amounts will increase by 3%, allowing an increased volume of imports to 
access the UK market.  
The quotas will be managed quarterly, rather than annually, to preserve the total annual volumes 
per prod uct category, whilst ensuring a stable flow of imports, minimising the risk of exporters in 
the strongest exporting countries frontloading sales to 'empty the market' and stockpiling at the 
beginning of a period. When the quarterly quota in a product categ ory is not exhausted, it is rolled 
over to the next quarter until the last quarter of each year the measure is in effect (Q4). Unused 
quotas at the end of Q4 are not rolled over to the next year.  
Developing countries with a 2017 -2019 average import share o f more than 3% of the UK's total 
imports, or with import shares that collectively accounted for more than 9% in a product category, 
were deemed to be non -exempt from the safeguard measure in this product category, in accordance 
with Article 9.1 of the Agre ement on Safeguards (see item 15).  
Where a country's average import share in a product category exceeded 5%, the recommendation 
was to allocate the same share of the quota in this product category (country -specific quota 
allocation).  
Countries that have ex hausted their country -specific quota in a given product category and period 
will be able to access the remaining residual quota for that product category in the last quarter of 
each year, without any restrictions (no caps). The TRA could not confirm a need  to introduce caps 
on the residual quota use by countries with a country -specific quota. This was due to lack of data to 
show that countries with country -specific quotas rapidly exhaust residual quotas during the last 
quarter, thereby crowding out traditio nal import flows from other origins.  
6.  Provide proposed date or actual date of introduction of the measure.  
The extension of the measure comes into effect on 1 July 2021.  
7.  Provide expected duration of the measure.  
For product categories 1, 2, 4, 5, 13, 19, 20, 21, 25A, 25B, and 26, the measure is extended by 
three years.  
For product categories 6, 7, 12, 16, and 17, the measure is extended by one year.  
8.  For a measure with a duration of more than three years, provide the proposed date for 
the revi ew (under Article 7.4) to be held not later than the mid -term of the measure, if 
such a date for the review has already been scheduled.  
The review of the measure was initiated on 1 October 2020. This notification reflects the outcome 
of the review.  G/SG/N/8/GBR/1/Suppl.3 • G/SG/N/10/GBR/1/Suppl.1 • G/SG/N/11/GBR/1/Suppl.1  
 
- 4 - 
 
  9.  If the expected duration is over one year, provide expected timetable for progressive 
liberalization of the measure.  
Each year the quota quantities shall be raised by 3%. The out of quota amount will remain at 25%.  
10.  If the notification relates only to a finding of serious injury or threat thereof, and does 
not relate to a decision to apply or extend a safeguard meas ure: 
(i)  provide the deadlines for interested parties to comment or any other 
procedures relevant to the decision to apply the measures, and  
Not applicable.  
(ii)  provide information regarding procedures for prior consultation with those 
Members having a substantial interest as exporters of the product concerned.  
See response to item 14.  
11.  If the measure is being extended, also provide:  
(i)  evidence that the industry concerned is adjusting and that the safeguard 
measure continues to be necessa ry to prevent or remedy serious injury;  
The UK steel industry had provided evidence showing that it had implemented adjustment plans to 
increase its competitiveness. However, other adjustment measures are being enacted, which require 
the application of the  safeguard measure for an additional period.  
This evidence can be found in the TRA 's Statement of Intended Preliminary Decision and its 
recommendation to the Secretary of State.  
(ii)  reference to the WTO document that notified the initial application of t he 
measure;  
This notification is in relation to the safeguard measure imposed by the European Union1, on behalf 
of Member States, including the United Kingdom. The measure was applied provisionally from 
17 July 2018 (notification symbol G/SG/N/7/EU/1  - G/SG/N/11/EU/1 ), and definitely from 
2 February  2019 (notification symbol G/SG/N/8/EU/1 - G/SG/N/10/EU/1  - G/SG/11/EU/1/Suppl.1 ).  
The United Kingdom's  review of the measure, following its withdrawal from the European Union, was 
initiated on 1  October  2020, and notified to the Committee on 8  October  2020 (notification symbol 
G/SG/N/6/GBR/1 ). The United Kingdom made further notifications on 21 May 2021 (notification 
symbol G/SG/N/8/GBR/1 ), and on 11 June 2021 (notification symbol G/SG/N/8/GBR/Suppl.1 - 
G/SG/N/10/GBR/1 - G/SG/N/11/GBR/1 ), pursuant to Articles 12.1(b), 12.1(c), 9.1 and its foot note 
of the Agreement on Safeguards.   
(iii) duration of the measure from initial application till the date at which it will be 
extended;  
The measure was applied provisionally since 17 July 2018,  and definitively since 2 February 2019.  
For product categories 1, 2, 4, 5, 13, 19, 20, 21, 25A, 25B, and 26, the measure is extended by 
three years to 30 June 2024. For product categories 6, 7, 12, 16, and 17, the measure is extended 
by one year to 30 July 2022. The total duration of the measure will theref ore be just under six years.

  (iv) precise description of the measure in place prior to the date of extension (in 
this context, please note that the last sentence of Article 7.4 states that: "A 
measure extended under paragraph 2 shall not be more restr ictive than it was at 
the end of the initial period, and should continue to be liberalized.")  
Table 7 of the Annex illustrates the measure in place prior to the date of extension.  
12.  If the notification relates to a decision to apply or extend a safeguar d measure, 
Members are encouraged to provide the following information:  
(i)  The major exporting Members of imports of the product involved.  
Major exporting countries are considered to be those who have a significant supplying interest. These 
countries hav e been allocated a country -specific quota.
