UK Notifies Industry of End of Prior Surveillance Import Licensing Regime

The United Kingdom issued a notice May 15 reminding traders that prior surveillance import licenses are no longer required to import steel or aluminum goods as of May 16. The update stems from a change made by the European Commission to the European Union’s prior surveillance import licensing regime, the U.K. said. Traders should email enquiries.ilb@trade.gov.uk if they experience issues with the license requirement when trying to clear goods.
