Anti-dumping duties on valine from China
Key development
The Commission imposed definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of valine from the People’s Republic of China, with rates ranging from 31.3% to 53.8%.
Context
An investigation found imports of valine from China were entering the EU at dumped prices and causing injury to the EU valine industry located in France; valine is sold in food, feed and pharmaceutical grades and used notably in animal feed, the food industry and pharmaceuticals.
Who is affected
EU importers of valine from the People’s Republic of China, exporters from the People’s Republic of China and the EU valine industry (France) are directly affected, with compliance teams and customs authorities responsible for applying the measures.
What to expect
The definitive duties will be applied to imports, meaning shipments from China will be subject to the 31.3%–53.8% rates; businesses should plan for higher landed costs, potential sourcing shifts and increased compliance exposure.
