Antidumping Duties: China

Asked by Dame Harriett BaldwinConservativeDepartment for Business and TradeTabled Answered 4 September 2025UIN 73979

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, when his Department plans to make a decision on the Trade Remedies Authority’s recommendation on anti‑dumping duty on bicycles and parts from China; and if he will publish the underlying evidence before a decision is made.

Answered by Mr Douglas Alexander

On the 23 August 2024 the Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) initiated a transition review of the existing anti-dumping trade remedy measures on bicycles and bike parts originating from China. The TRA published their draft recommendation on their public file on 31 July 2025, on which interested parties were invited to provide comment. However, as the review remains ongoing, I cannot comment further. The TRA will publish relevant information and evidence on the public file as the review progresses.
