OF THE AGREEMENT ON  SAFEGUARDS  
NOTIFICATION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 9, FOOTNOTE 2  
OF THE AGREEMENT ON SAFEGUARDS  
UNITED KINGDOM  
Certain steel products  
The following communication, dated and received on 11 June  2021, is being circulated at the request 
of the delegation of  United Kingdom . 
 
_______________  
 
 
Pursuant to  Article 12.1(b),  Article 12.1(c)  and Article 9.1 and its footnote  of the Agreement on 
Safeguards, the United Kingdom submits a notification  upon finding of serious injury or threat 
thereof caused by increased  imports , 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.  
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 2021, the United Kingdom notified  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 ). 
The United Kingdom's trade remedy system operates within a decision -making structure where the 
competent authority (the Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) ) makes a recommendation , which may 
be either fully accepted or  fully rejected  by the Secretary of State for International Trade in a final 
decision on a safeguard measure . The United Kingdom makes  this notification pursuant to 
Article  12.1(c) informing the Committee of the fact that the competent authority has made a  
recom mendation with respect to  the safeguard measure  on certain steel products , and will make 
another notification to the Committee  informing it of the final decision.  
Since the United Kingdom notified upon finding serious injury or threat thereof  on 21 May 2021, the 
Trade Remedies Authority has been established , and has become the United Kingdom 's competent 
authority . The United Kingdom notified the WTO of this change of competent authority on 
1 June 2021. 
This notification  includes a second  invitation to hold  consultations in accordance with Article 12.3 of 
the Agreement on Safeguards.  G/SG/N/8/GBR/1/Suppl.1 • G/SG/N/10/GBR/1 • G/SG/N/11/GBR/1

  1. Provide evidence, citing relevant data and the applicable period of investigation of 
serious injury or threat thereof caused by increased imports.  
The UK 's com petent authority has determined whether there is serious injury or threat thereof 
cause d by increased imports (as contained in its "Statement of Intended Preliminary Decision ") for 
each of the 19 steel product categories covered by the review . These product categories are listed 
in Table 1 of the Annex.  
The TRA's analysis and reasons for its intended preliminary decisions (including public versions of 
the import data and injury indicators  considered) can be found in its Statement of Intended 
Prelimina ry Decision and in the UK 's notification G/SG/N/8/GBR/1 . The Statement has been 
published on the UK Trade Remedies Service website 
(https://www.trade -remedies.service.gov.uk/public/cases/ ). 
Following the publi cation of the Statement of Intended Preliminary Decision, interested parties and 
others had the opportunity to submit further evidence within  seven days of  publication . The TRA 
received further submissions and held one meeting . On the basis of this additional information and 
data, the TRA conclu ded that serious  injury or threat thereof was  also caused by increased imports 
of product categor y 25A, and that extending  a safeguard measure on imports of product 
categories  25A and 25B was  in the economic interest of the UK.  
Prior to the publication of the Statement of Intended Preliminary Decision, the TRA assessed that 
production of product category 25A had ceased . During the period  for seeking further evidence 
following publication, the TRA received  evidence from one UK producer , which showed additional 
production and sales from 2017 , and that production  and domestic sales continue . A decline in their 
production, sales, profit and market share led to the conclusi on of serious injury or threat thereof to 
UK industry.  
For product category 25B, the TRA found evidence of serious injury or threat thereof caused by 
increased imports . However , the TRA  determine d that extending  the measure for this product 
category was  not in the  UK's economic interest . This is outlined in the Statement of Intended 
Preliminary Decision . Following its publication, the TRA received evidence from a UK trade body , 
which showed additional production . This new information significantly increases the market share 
estimates for UK producers . Alongside other available evidence, the TRA concluded that extending 
the measure with respect to product category 25B is in the economic interest of the UK.  
While th e TRA had concluded that increased imports of product category 15 had led to serious injury 
or threat thereof to UK industry, further information provided in response to the Statement of 
Intended Preliminary Decision led to the conclusion  that extending the measure with respect to  this 
product category is not in the economic interest of the UK , and is therefore recommended for 
revocation.  
The TRA has put forth its recommendation to the Secretary of State  for International Trade . A copy 
of the re commendation is attached .1 The recommendation has also been published on the Trade 
Remedies Service website ( https://www.trade -remedies.service.gov.uk/public/cases/ ). 
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 context).  
The absolute increase in imports has be en 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 statisti cs 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 has determined that the increase in imports of steel products in the UK has been the re sult 
of unforeseen developments . These have amounted to a number of factors, which have established 
and aggravated imbalances in the international trade of the goods subject to review . The TRA's 
 
1 A copy of the TRA 's recommendation to the Secretary of State for International Trade has been 
submitted electronically. To consult this document, please contact Ms Richards ( anne.richards@wto.org ) or 
Ms Naville ( delphine.naville@wto.org ) of the Rules Division.  G/SG/N/8/GBR/1/Suppl.1 • G/SG/N/10/GBR/1 • G/SG/N/11/GBR/1

  analysis on the absolute and relative increase in imports res pectively 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 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.  
Subject to the Secretary of State for International Trade acc epting the recommendation, the product 
categories that will no longer be subject to the measure are listed in Table 2 of the Annex.  
5. Provide precise description of the proposed measure.  
The TRA has recommended that tariff rate quotas (TRQs) and an out -of-quota safeguarding duty of 
25% are applied and extended for a period of three years . Details of the product categories subject 
to the extended measure  can be found in Table 3 in the Annex.  
The proposed  liberalisation rate for the measure has 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 impor ts to access the UK market.  
The quotas would be managed quarterly, rather than annually, to preserve the total annual volumes 
per product category, whilst ensuring a stable flow of imports, minimising the risk of exporters in 
the strongest exporting countr ies frontloading sales to 'empty the market' and stockpiling at the 
beginning of a period . When the quarterly quota in a product category 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 of 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 Agreement on Safeguards (see item 15).  
Where a country's average import share in a product category exceeded 5 %, the recommend ation 
is to allocate the same share of the quota in this product category (country -specific quota allocation).  
Countries that have exhausted their country -specific quota in a given product category and period 
would 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 traditional import flows from other origins.  
6. Provide proposed date or actual date of introduction of the measure.  
The pro posed date of introduction is 1 July 2021. This is subject to the Secretary of State for 
International Trade accepting  the TRA 's recommendation . 
7. Provide expected duration of the measure.  
The proposed  duration of the measure is 3 years . This is subject to t he Secretary of State for 
International Trade accepting  the TRA 's recommendation . G/SG/N/8/GBR/1/Suppl.1 • G/SG/N/10/GBR/1 • G/SG/N/11/GBR/1  
- 4 - 
  8. For a measure with a duration of more than three years, provide the proposed date for 
the review (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.  
See response  to item 7.  
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 %. 
This is subject to the Secretary of State for International Trade accepting the TRA 's recommendation.  
10. If the notification relates only to a finding of serious injury or threat thereof, and does 
not relate to a decisi on to apply or extend a safeguard measure:  
(i) provide the deadlines for interested parties to comment or any other 
procedures relevant to the decision to apply the measures, and  
Not applicable . Interested parties and others were able to submit evidence within seven days of the 
publication of the Statement of Intended Preliminary Decision . That period has now passed and 
interested parties and others are no longer able to submit evidence now the TRA  has made its 
recommendation to the Secretary of State for International Trade.  
(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 necessary to prevent or remedy serious injury;  
The UK steel industry has provided evidence showing that it has 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 Statement of Intended  Preliminary Decision  and the TRA 's 
recommendation . 
(ii) reference to the WTO document that notified the initial application of the 
measure;  
This notification is in relation to the safeguard measure imposed by the European Union2, on behalf 
of Member States, including the United Kingdom . The measure was provisionally applied from 
17 July 2018, and was notified under document G/SG/N/7/EU/ 1 - G/SG/N/11/EU/1 . The definitive 
measure applied from 2  February  2019, and was notified under document 
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 
notification was provided to the Committee on Safeguards 8  October  2020 (notification 
symbol  G/SG/N/6/GBR /1). The United Kingdom notified the WTO upon making a finding of serious 
injury or threat thereof following this review on 21 May 2021 (notification  symbol G/SG/N/8/GBR/1 ).

  (iii)  duration of the measure from initial application till the date at which it 
will be extended;  
The measure was applied provisionally since 1 7 July 2018 and definit ively since 2 February  2019. 
The TRA recommends extending  the measure by 3 years to 3 0 June 2024. The total duration of the 
measure would therefore be just under 6 years.  
and, 
(iv) precise description of t he 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 
restrictive 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 proposed extension.  
12. If the notification relates to a decision to apply or extend a safeguard measure, 
Members are encouraged to provide the following information:  
(i) The major exporting Members of imports of the product involved.  
The TRA considers major exporting countries to be those who have a significant supplying interest . 
These countries have been allocated  a country -specific quota.  
Tables 4, 5 and 6  in the Annex illustrate the proposed country -specific and residual TRQs.  
(ii) If there are any exporting Members to which the measure does not apply 
for any reason other than the application of Article 9.1, the names of such 
exporting Members and reasons for n on-application of the measure.
