Iron and Steel: Import Duties
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what enforcement mechanisms will be used to detect and prevent the (a) misclassification and (b) rerouting of steel imports to avoid steel tariffs.
Answered by Dan Tomlinson
Steel imports are subject to the same risk-based, intelligence-led compliance checks the UK applies across all imports. HMRC and Border Force take appropriate enforcement action where cases of non-compliance or deliberate fraud are detected. Businesses and individuals who do not comply with customs controls may be liable to civil or criminal penalties.
