New UK Steel Tariffs Come Into Force

July 1, 2026

Published by Sky News

The UK agreed reciprocal tariff-free quotas with the EU, while steel imports above agreed ​quotas will face an increased 50% tariff, up from 25% under the previous regime.

 

There is also a reduction in the imports allowed under tariff-free quotas, which have been cut by 51%.

 

The EU has also today brought in an updated steel tariffs regime, implementing a previously announced 50% tariff on almost half its steel imports, hitting countries with which it has free trade agreements.
