Decision: UK's steel trade measure from 1 July 2026
Sanctions Classified by Officially
On 19 March 2026, the government announced a new steel trade measure, taking effect from 1 July 2026. This measure has been implemented using powers in the Taxation (Cross Border Trade) Act 2018, as amended.
The government has carried out a programme of intensive industry engagement since the announcement. We have also engaged closely with the European Union (EU) ahead of their new steel trade measure coming into effect and agreed an approach that reflects the UK and EU’s highly interconnected supply chains.
From 1 July 2026, the government is limiting tariff-free steel imports, reducing overall quota volumes by 51% compared with the steel safeguard measure. Any imports above these levels will face a 50% tariff. The measure applies to imports of steel products that can also be made in the UK.
