TRA launches review of UK trade defence measures on bikes and parts from China: BA statement

August 23, 2024

The Bicycle Association notes today’s announcement from the Trade Remedies Authority that the review of current UK trade defence measures against bikes and parts from China has opened.

The Bicycle Association remains strictly neutral on this and similar trade defence matters, because we have within our membership companies whose interests differ on these issues.

But as with the recent similar review relating to trade defence measures for e-bikes, which is now approaching its final recommendation stage, the BA provides its members with extensive support to understand and participate in the trade defence review process, so that member companies can make their own representations as effectively as possible.

As the industry association we also support the investigating authorties, within our neutral role, with data and expertise, including the uniquely granular, detailed and up to date figures collected by the BA Market Data Service.
