On 25 November 2025, the Secretary of State for Business and Trade accepted the Trade Remedies Authority’s final recommendation to impose anti‑dumping duties on biodiesel imports from China. The TRA concluded that Chinese biodiesel has been dumped at unfairly low prices, causing material injury to UK producers such as Argent Energy and Olleco. The duties will apply from 25 November and are ad valorem: 14.79 % for the Zhuoyue Group and non‑sampled cooperating exporters, and 54.64 % for all other exporters. They cover biodiesel, including fatty‑acid mono‑alkylesters and hydro‑treated vegetable oil in pure form or blends, but exclude sustainable aviation fuel. The investigation, launched on 5 June 2024 after an application by the Renewable Transport Fuels Association, followed a Statement of Essential Facts and stakeholder consultation.
