unstar this property answer text <p>In response to Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine the UK has announced an unprecedented package of measures to cut off the funding for Putin’s war machine. This includes targeting steel products, a key revenue source for Russia, where we have banned the import of all finished steel and implemented tariff increases of 35 percentage points on all steel from Russia. Since April, the UK has imported no steel defined as finished or semi-finished directly from Russia.</p><p> </p><p>The Government recognises that any circumvention of sanctions measures through third countries undermines their wider impact.

unstar this property answer text <p>Following two months of intensive discussions, the UK secured an expansive removal of Section 232 tariffs on UK steel and aluminium exports to the US on 22 March. The solution reached with the US is bespoke for the UK and reflects the needs and interests of our steel and aluminium industries.</p><p>From 1 June 2022, the US will replace its Section 232 tariffs on certain UK exports of steel and aluminium with “tariff-rate quotas” (TRQs). This re-opens tariff-free access to the US market back to levels before section 232 tariffs up to a specified volume. This will bring welcome relief to the UK steel and aluminium industries which support the jobs of around 80,000 people across the UK supply chain.</p> more like this
