The Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) has announced an anti‑dumping investigation into imports of Linear Low‑Density Polyethylene (LLD polyethylene) from the United States. LLD polyethylene, widely used in the petrochemical industry for packaging, medical tubing and other durable applications, underpins key supply chains in healthcare, packaging and manufacturing. The investigation was triggered by a complaint from INEOS Olefins & Polymers, whose Scottish Grangemouth plant said that U.S. imports were being dumped and harming the entire UK industry. The period of investigation covers 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025, with the injury period running from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2025. Businesses that could be affected—including importers and downstream users—are invited to register their interest through the TRA public file by 16 July 2026; late registrations may be excluded. If the TRA finds evidence of dumping that harms UK industry, it can recommend anti‑dumping duties to restore fair competition.
