From July 2026, the UK will sharply tighten steel import quotas, while a second layer of carbon-related import costs (CBAM) arrives from January 2027. Together, the changes could reshape steel availability, lead times, pricing and sourcing engineering steel.
The UK steel market is entering one of the biggest shifts seen in decades.
