EU imposes anti-dumping duties on Chinese high-pressure cylinders
Key development
The Commission adopted definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of high-pressure seamless steel cylinders from the People’s Republic of China, with rates ranging from 57.7% to 90.3%.
Context
The measures follow an investigation that identified dumped imports of high-pressure seamless steel cylinders for compressed or liquified gas, covering all diameters and volume capacities and the period 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024.
Who is affected
EU importers of high-pressure seamless steel cylinders from China, Chinese exporters of these cylinders, and manufacturers located in Austria, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany and Italy are affected.
What to expect
Customs and compliance teams should apply the definitive duties, which will raise import costs given the 57.7% to 90.3% rates and is expected to affect sourcing decisions and increase compliance exposure for importers.
