A provisional countervailing duty on ironing boards from Türkiye (Turkey) is now live (26 May 2023).
While this provisional duty applies, importers of ironing boards from Türkiye will need to give HMRC a guarantee for the provisional duty amount in the form of cash, bond or a bank guarantee.
A rate of countervailing amount of 4.42% will apply to imports of the goods from Turkish companies.

| 3M Plastik Ve Metal Diş Ticaret Ve Sanayi A.Ş. | 4.42% | 8B04 |
| All other overseas exporters (residual amount) | 4.42% | 8B05 |
Please note that importers of goods affected by this measure who wish to provide security for the provisional countervailing duty using a bank guarantee, must apply to HMRC for a general guarantee account.
The countervailing duties apply to the following commodity codes:
