Trade Remedies Authority initiates transition review into ammonium nitrate from Russia

22nd March 2025

The TRA has initiated a transition review into an anti-dumping measure on ammonium nitrate from Russia.

The TRA will be reviewing the anti-dumping measure transitioned from the EU to determine whether it is still suitable for the UK's needs. This measure is due to expire on 17 December 2025. The current duty ranges from £24.085 to £27.374 per tonne, excluding other import duties.

Ammonium nitrate is commonly used in agriculture and farming, as well as for industrial purposes like the production of explosives, particularly in mining. You can find more detailed information about the products on the investigation's public file.

The period of investigation (POI) for the investigation is 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024. The injury period (IP) is 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2024.

Businesses that may be affected by this measure can register their interest through our public file by 3 April 2025.
Interested parties that register after this date may not be able to participate fully in the review.

The Trade Remedies Authority is the UK body that investigates whether new trade remedy measures are needed to counter unfair import practices and unforeseen surges of imports.

Trade remedy investigations were carried out by the EU Commission on the UK's behalf until the UK left the EU. A number of EU trade remedy measures of interest to UK producers were transitioned into UK law when the UK left the EU and the TRA has been reviewing these to assess whether they are suitable for UK needs.

Anti-dumping duties allow a country or union to act against goods which are being sold at less than their normal value - this is defined as the price for ‘like goods' sold in the exporter’s home market.
