What sources does Taxxa search?

Taxxa searches a continuously updated collection of more than one million pages from tax authorities, government publications, legislation and case law across the European jurisdictions it covers. Every response cites the underlying material, so a professional can inspect the rule, its jurisdiction and whether it is current before relying on the result.

Can Taxxa work with a team’s own documents?

Yes. Research can combine the public knowledge base with a team’s own PDF, DOCX, CSV and TXT files in one workspace. That makes it possible to compare a client document with the relevant guidance, trace a conclusion to its source and prepare a draft without losing the evidence that supports it.

Who is Taxxa built for?

Accountants, auditors, tax advisors, payroll specialists, bookkeepers and advisory teams working across European jurisdictions. Shared workspaces keep research available to colleagues, and citations make review easier.

Where is customer data stored, and is it used to train models?

Customer data stays in the European Union and is never used to train language models.

Does Taxxa replace professional judgement?

No. Taxxa is a research and drafting workspace. It helps professionals reach an informed starting point faster; the professional still reviews the evidence and makes the final decision. It does not file returns, post bookkeeping entries or give legal advice.

Industry: Manufacture of tubes, pipes, hollow profiles and related fittings, of steel

The UK has extended anti-dumping duties on specified welded tubes and pipes originating in Belarus and China until 30 January 2031GOV. Trade remedies notice 2026/24 maintains the existing rates following an expiry reviewGOV and supersedes notice 2023/09. It took effect on 21 August 2026, the day after publicationGOV.

The duty is 38.1% for all overseas exporters from BelarusGOV and 90.6% for all overseas exporters from ChinaGOV. Those percentages apply to the net price at the frontier before other import duties. The associated additional TAP codes are 8A90 for Belarus and 8A91 for China. The Trade Remedies Authority recommended retaining the existing amounts because recalculation had not been appropriate in this review.

The covered products are welded tubes and pipes of iron or non-alloy steelGOV, with a circular cross-section and an external diameter no greater than 168.3mm. The description excludes line pipe used for oil or gas pipelines, casing and tubing used in oil or gas drilling, precision tubes, and tubes and pipes with attached fittings suitable for carrying gases or liquids in civil aircraft.

The notice lists commodity codes 73 06 30 41 20, 73 06 30 72 80, 73 06 30 77 80 and 73 06 30 49 20. Classification under one of those codes does not by itself bring a product within the measure: goods outside the description are excluded. For goods outside the goods description, the notice specifies a 0% anti-dumping amount and additional code 8A89, which importers should use on the declaration to claim the exclusion.

The five-year extension is measured from 30 January 2026GOV, when the measure would otherwise have expired had the review not begun. The notice states that application of the duty is varied from that date; this is distinct from its own commencement on 21 August. The stated end date is 30 January 2031GOV, and the authority will notify interested parties in time to seek a further expiry review.

The legal basis is Trade remedies notice 2026/24, issued under section 13(4) of the Taxation (Cross-Border Trade) Act 2018 and regulation 70(10) of the Trade Remedies (Dumping and Subsidisation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019.

Check Belarusian and Chinese tube imports against the notice’s goods description and apply the relevant duty or exclusion code on the import declaration.
