The Department for Business and Trade has and will continue to run regular stakeholder forums, Ministerial roundtables, and direct business engagement on the steel trade measure. In addition, businesses can raise operational tariff-related difficulties through HMRC’s established customs and tariff support routes, including existing enquiry services and trader guidance channels.
