The UK’s Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) has proposed extending the anti-dumping (AD) measure on aluminum foil in rolls imported from China for another five years. The investigation period spans from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023.

On May 20, 2024, the TRA initiated a transition review to assess the need for the existing AD measure. The TRA concluded that if the measure were removed, the dumping originally identified would likely continue or recur, causing injury to UK producers.

The TRA's analysis noted that the market for aluminum foil in rolls, used by caterers, hotels, restaurants, and in beauty treatments, is characterized by intense price competition.

The current tariffs, which range from 14.2% to 35.6%, are intended to ensure fair competition. Interested parties can submit comments on this proposal until October 27, 2025.
