Britain is drawing up plans to modify a steel tariff regime, including expanding exemptions to more categories of steel, after industry groups warned the measures could impose heavy costs on their businesses, Sky News reported on Wednesday.
The report said the Department for Business and Trade would be holding talks with industry groups this week on proposals that would exclude a greater number of steel products from the restrictions unveiled in March.
The Department for Business and Trade did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
