Free Trade Measures Tracker: United Kingdom

Explore steel tariff quotas and trade measures by market in this free, self-serve tracker. It brings together official-source quota balances for the EU (European Commission), UK (Department for Business and Trade) and Canada (Global Affairs Canada), plus measures in force in the United States, Mexico, Turkey and India. This is a market-by-market guide, not a product-specific assessment; for tailored analysis, see the paid Tailored Trade Measures Review. Check each source and data date before relying on it.

Checked 19 Oct 2026, 10:03 UTC · official balances as at 19 Oct 2026 · quarter 1 Oct–31 Dec 2026, 73 days left

Lag: official balances run about 2 working days behind customs allocations. UK figures are daily but can lag HMRC allocations by several days.

How run-out is estimated: from how fast the balance fell between our stored readings this quarter, projected forward, with a range for a faster and slower pace. Shown only when there are enough readings; “Not enough data yet” otherwise. An estimate, not a forecast by the authorities. Method: average daily draw-down of the balance over the last 14 daily data points of this quarter (after any rollover or top-up), projected forward; the range uses the slower/faster of the full-window and recent pace, ±20%. Needs 3 points. "At risk" = estimate falls before the quarter ends. DBT balances can lag, so the estimate can too.

Used % = (quarter volume − balance) ÷ quarter volume. UK balances come from HMRC via the DBT dataset and can lag allocations by several days; for live balances contact HMRC (tariff.management@hmrc.gov.uk). Above quota, a 50% tariff by value applies from 1 July 2026 (Customs (Tariff and Miscellaneous Amendments) (No. 5) Regulations 2026, SI 2026/703; DBT, "UK's steel trade measure from 1 July 2026"); the 25% safeguard duty ended 30 June 2026. Exemption: goods under contract before 14 March 2026 imported 1 July–30 September 2026; codes 7217 30 49 and 7217 30 90 left the measure on 1 October 2026. Not an official customs determination.

UK: daily, may lag allocations. Fetched 19 Oct 2026, 10:03 UTC. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Source: Department for Business and Trade, UK trade quotas (HMRC quota balances). DBT notes the balances can lag HMRC allocations by several days; do not use them alone for operational decisions.
