The Department for Business and Trade has published a trade remedies notice requiring the mandatory registration of all boom lifts imported into the UK that originate from China. This action is taken under paragraph 29 of Schedule 4 to the Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Act 2018, indicating a potential precursor to further trade remedy measures such as tariffs or quotas.

Importers and manufacturers dealing with boom lifts from China must ensure their imports are registered according to the terms of this notice. Failure to comply could result in penalties or impede the clearance of goods. Companies should review the specific requirements outlined in the full notice and prepare for potential future trade actions affecting these goods.
