The UK Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) was officially established on 1st June 2021 by the new Trade Act 2021.

This new independent unit is responsible for investigations into Anti-Dumping and Countervailing import duty issues (AD/CVD) to help defend UK economic interests from unfair international trading practices. The Trade Act 2021 received Royal Assent on 29 April 2021, after a seemingly long time spent passing through the various committee stages in Parliament. The TRA has now replaced the interim Trade Remedies Investigations Directorate (TRID), which was part of the Department for International Trade. Though a non-governmental public body, the TRA will also work on individual cases to impose trade defence measures as recommended by the Secretary of State for International Trade (SoS). Read More
