EU imposes final anti-dumping duties on tinplate from China

The European Commission (EC) has announced its decision to impose final anti-dumping duties on imports of tinplate from China. This is stated in the respective statement of the institution.

As noted, the anti-dumping investigation, which preceded the introduction of the measures and covered the period from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024, showed that imports of tin from China were carried out at dumped prices in the EU market, which is annually estimated at €2.7 billion, and caused damage to European producers.

Accordingly, the final anti-dumping duties for this country are set in the range of 13-62%. The preliminary anti-dumping duties introduced on January 14, 2025, amounted to 14.1%, 47.1%, 62.6% for Chinese companies.

As a reminder, the European Commission launched an anti-dumping investigation following a complaint filed by the European Steel Association (EUROFER) in May last year. One of the central allegations of the complaint was that Chinese producers benefit from distorted prices for raw materials, in particular, hot-rolled flat products, which account for 60-70% of production costs and are subject to China’s export restrictions.

As GMK Center reported earlier, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam announced a revision of the previous anti-dumping duty on hot-rolled steel imported from China. Although the provisional rates for Chinese imports remained unchanged (in the range of 19.38% to 27.83%), the Ministry decided to impose a 27.83% anti-dumping duty on Win Faith Trading Limited.
