A fair trade body is reconsidering a ruling which imposed tariffs on Chinese excavators imported into the UK.<\/p>\n

The Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) ruled last year that tariffs of up to 40% should be imposed following a complaint from JCB about the dumping of diggers by Chinese manufacturers.<\/p>\n

The TRA is now formally reconsidering its recommendations following appeals from LiuGong Group and Caterpillar.<\/p>\n

LiuGong has claimed that battery electric machines should not be included and be removed from the description of the goods and all related tariffs.<\/p>\n

Dean Thornwell, Managing Director of LiuGong UK said: \u201cIt\u2019s a short-sighted move that conflicts with the UK\u2019s ambitions around net-zero and sustainability.<\/p>\n

“As a manufacturer delivering world-class BEVs, we believe this could discourage progress at a time when low-carbon innovation should be accelerating.”<\/p>\n

\n

Caterpillar has “questioned the TRA\u2019s calculation of the individual anti-dumping amount that was calculated for it as the sampled cooperating overseas exporter to the original investigation.”<\/p>\n

It has asked the TRA to “recalculate the injury margin, dumping margin, injury and causal link determination and the form of the anti-dumping measures.”<\/p>\n

The TRA said: “At the end of the reconsideration process, the TRA will reach a reconsidered decision either upholding or varying its recommendation and will notify this to the Secretary of State for Business and Trade.”<\/p>\n
