How UK trade remedies could affect your business
The UK may impose trade remedies where investigations identify concerns involving dumped imports, subsidised goods or sudden increases in imports.
These measures can result in additional duties, affect the cost and availability of products and influence decisions about sourcing, pricing and investment.
