NOTIFICATION UNDER ARTICLE 12.1(B) OF THE AGREEMENT ON  
SAFEGUARDS ON FINDING A SERIOUS INJURY OR THREAT  
THEREOF CAUSED BY INCREASED IMPORTS  
UNITED KINGDOM  
Certain steel products  
The following communication, dated  and received  on 21  May 2021, is being circulated at the request 
of the delegation of  United Kingdom.  
 
_______________  
 
 
Pursuant to Article 12.1(b) of the Agreement on Safeguards, the United Kingdom submits a 
notification on finding serious injury or threat thereof cause d by increased imports  to the domestic 
industry producing certain steel products . 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 ). 
The United King dom will continue to carry out the relevant  safeguard procedures and notify the 
Committee if a decision is taken  to extend  the safeguard measure , in accordance with Article 12.1  (c) 
(taking a decision to apply or extend a safeguard measure) and Article 9.1  (the exclusion of 
developing country members) and its footnote . 
The United Kingdom 's trade remedy system operates with in a decision -making structure where the 
competent authority (the Trade Remedies Investigations Directorate (TRID)) makes preliminary 
decisions , which may be given effect  to by a decision -maker  ("the Secretary of State for International 
Trade ") in a final decision to im pose or extend a safeguard measure . The United Kingdom will make 
one notification pursuant to Article 12.1(c) informing the Committee of the fact that the competent 
authorit y has made such a preliminary  decision , and another informing it what has become of  that 
decision . 
This notification includes an invitation to hold consultations in accordance with Article 12.3 of the 
Agreement on Safeguards . The United Kingdom will provide a second opportunity for consultations 
pursuant to Article 12.3 of the Agreement on Safeguards if the competent authorit y makes  a 
preliminary decision , which the United Kingdom would notify  pursuant to Article 12.1(c).  
1. Provide evidence, citing relevant data and the applicable period of investigation of 
serious injury or threat thereof caused by increased imports.  
The period of investigation (POI) is 1 January  2013 to 3 1 December  2017. The most recent period 
(MRP)  is 1 January  2018 to 3 0 June 2020. The United Kingdom 's competent authority , TRID , invited 
interested parties and others to register and provide evidence via questionnaire responses or 
submissions by 1 5 October  2020. 
There were 97 registrations  in the review, including domestic producers, importers, overseas 
exporters (producers), foreign governments, trade associations and upstream/downstream users of 
the goods.  G/SG/N/8/GBR/1  
- 2 - 
  Intended preliminary decisions  on the serious injury or threat thereof cause d by increased imports 
(as contained in its "Statement of Intended Preliminary Decision ") have been made for each of the 
19 steel product categories covered by the review . These product categories are listed in Table 1 of 
the Annex . TRID's analysis and reasons for its decisions (including public versions of the import data 
and injury indicators considered) can be found in its Statement of Intended Preliminary Decision . A 
copy of TRID 's Statement of Intended Preliminary Decision  is attached .1 The Statement has also 
been published on the Trade Remedies Service website  (https://www.trade -
remedies.service.gov.uk/public/cases/ ). 
TRID has considered if there would be serious injury to UK producers of the like goods and directly 
competitive goods if goods belonging to that category were no longer subject to a tariff rate quota . 
In undertaking this assessment , TRID has considered market share and the current state of the  UK 
industry.  
Outlined in item 10(i) , TRID is provid ing interested parties the opportunity to comment on the 
Statement of I ntended Preliminary Decision  for seven days after its publication – i.e., before 5PM 
GMT on 26 May.  
2. Provide information on whether there is an absolute increase in imports or an increase 
in imports relative to domestic production . 
The absolute increase in imports has been assessed using import data for the POI from HMRC UK 
Trade Inf o, 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.  
TRID has preliminarily 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 ha ve 
establish ed and aggravat ed imbalances in the international tr ade of the goods subject to review . 
TRID's analysis on the absolute and relative increase in imports  respectively  can be found in its 
Statement of Intended Preliminary  Decision . 
A recent, sudden and sharp absolute increase in imports was found for product categories 7, 15, 19 
and 21 . For categories 7 and 28, an analysis of the significance of any relative increase was not 
possible as no production data had been  provided to the investigation . For product cat egories 15, 
19, and 21 , the analysis on the significance of relative increases in imports did not show that these 
increases were significant . However , these categories were found to have significant absolute 
increases.  
A recent, sudden and sharp  absolute a nd relative increase in imports was found for product 
categories 1, 2, 4, 5, 13, 20, 25B  and 26. 
A recent, sudden and sharp  absolute and relative increase in imports was found for product 
category  25A. Although  the analysis on absolute increase show ed that imports dropped well below 
2013 levels by 2017, a significant , sudden and sharp  increase of over a 100 % increase was seen in 
2015.  
For product categories 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 13, 15, 19, 20, 21, 25A and 25B , signifi cant absolute increases 
were found over a period of one year, ranging from 24 % to 206 %. 
For product categories 5 and 26, significant , sudden and sharp  absolute increases were noticeable 
across a two -year period . There was  an increase of 106 % over a two -year period  for product 
category 5 , and of 34 % over a two -year period  for product category 26 . 
For product category 28, there was an absolute increase in imports within the POI . However, the 
increases seen between 2013 and 2017 figures, whilst increasing, app ear to be following a sustained 
upward trend , with no evidence of a significant increase, as the changes seen are not sudden or

  sharp . Due to a lack of detailed production data  as no UK producers of these goods registered an 
interest in th e review, it was not possible to assess the relative increase in imports . In conclusion, 
although there was a recent  absolute increase in imports, the evidence does not suggest that the 
increase was sudden and sharp . Therefore , the increase in imports of category 28 products  during 
the POI is not considered to be significant.  
Whilst some increases in imports were identified  across the POI for product categories 6, 12, 14, 16 
and 17, all of these ca tegories f ell back to or below the 2013 import levels by the end of the POI . 
Therefore , the development in imports across the POI d id not meet the criteria of an absolute 
increase in imports.  
For product categories 6 and 12, whilst the 2017 import volume a s a proportion of production was 
higher than in 2013, the development in imports across the PO I remained stable throughout.  
For product categories 14 and 16, whilst increases were seen in the import volumes as a proportion 
of production in 2014, this was f ollowed by decreases in proportion of production across the rest of 
the POI , when compared to 2013.  
Product categories 14, 16 and 17 import volumes as a proportion of production all ended the POI 
with lower proportions compared to 2013.  
No production data was available for product category 27 , and therefore no analysis of relative 
increase was possible.  
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 o f 
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 su bject 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 . 
Pending TRID 's preliminary decision  and if the Secretary of State for International Trade gives effect 
to that decision , 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.  
TRID intends to make the preliminary decision 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 mean s that the quota 
amounts will increase by 3 %, allowing an increased volume of imports 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 countries frontloading sales to 'empty the market ' and stockpiling at the 
beginning of a period.  
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 . G/SG/N/8/GBR/1  
- 4 - 
  Where a country 's average import share in a product category  exceeded 
5%, the intended  determination 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) . TRID 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 tr aditional import flows from other origins.  
Now that it has published its Statement of Intended Preliminary Decision, TRID is open to receiving 
any further evidence from interested  parties  and others . TRID may then  make a preliminary decision , 
which may be given effect to by the Secretary of State for International Trade  in due course . The 
United Kingdom will notify the Committee of any preliminary decision  pursuant to Article 12.1(c).  
6. Provide  proposed date or actua l date of introduction of the measure.  
The proposed date of introduction is 1 July 2021. This is pending TRID 's preliminary decision , and 
subject to the Secretary of State  for International Trade  giving effect to that decision.  
7. Provide expected  duration of the measure.  
The proposed  duration of the measure is 3 years . This is pending TRID 's preliminary decision, and 
subject to the Secretary of State for International Trade giving effect to that dec ision.  
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 ite m 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 pending TRID 's preliminary d ecision, and subject to the Secretary of State for International 
Trade giving effect to that decision.  
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 measu re: 
(i) provide the deadlines for interested parties to comment or any other 
procedures relevant to the decision to apply the measures, and  
Interested parties and others may submit further evidence within seven days of publication  of the 
Statement of Intended Preliminary Decision – i.e., before 5PM GMT  on 26 May . Comments should 
be provided  through the Trade Remedies Service ( https://www.trade -
remedies.service.gov .uk/accounts/login ). 
(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;  G/SG/N/8/GBR/1  
- 5 - 
  The UK steel industry ha s 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 Inte nded Preliminary Decision . 
(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 ap plied fro m 
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 ). 
(iii)  duration of the measure from initial application till the date at which it 
will be extended;  
The initial application of the measure commenced 17 July 2018 with a provi sional measure . A 
definitive measure commenced from 2 February  2019. TRID intends to make a preliminary decision 
to extended by 3 years to 3 0 June 2024. The total duration of the measure would there fore be just 
under 6  years.  
and, 
(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 
restrictive than it was at the end of the in itial 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 provid e the following information:  
(i) The major exporting Members of imports of the product involved.  
TRID considers major exporting countries to be those who have a significant supplying interest . 
These countries have been allocated a country specific quota.  
Table s 4, 5 and 6 in the Annex illustrate the intended 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 non -application of the measure.
