EU takes action on dumped imports of aluminum household foil from China Today, the European Commission extended for five years the anti-dumping duties in force on imports of aluminium household foil from China. This extension follows an investigation which showed that dumping by Chinese exporters continues despite the measures in place and if these measures were to be removed, it would cause injury to the Union industry The anti-dumping duties will remain at their current level of between 6.4% and 30%.
The EU consumes €200 million worth of aluminium household foil annually and is a very attractive market for China, which has a significant spare production capacity to increase its exports to the EU. The existing measures on imports of Chinese aluminium household foil eliminate the unfair price advantage that these imports enjoy. If the measures were scrapped, it would lead to a loss of market share for EU industry, threatening jobs and the viability of production plants in several EU Member States.
Chinese exporters have previously tried to circumvent existing EU duties by modifying the product slightly or by shipping it via Thailand. The EU addressed these circumvention attempts by extending the anti-dumping measures to the modified product in 2017 and to shipments of the product coming from Thailand in 2021.
欧盟对原产自中国的家用铝箔采取倾销行动
当地时间2022年3月11日,欧盟委员会将对原产自中国的家用铝箔实施的反倾销税延长五年。此次延期之前的一项调查显示,尽管采取了措施,中国出口商的倾销仍在继续,如果取消这些措施,将对欧盟工业造成损害。反倾销税将保持在目前的 6.4% 之间和 30%。
欧盟每年消费价值2亿欧元的家用铝箔,对中国来说是一个非常有吸引力的市场,中国拥有大量的剩余生产能力来增加对欧盟的出口。对进口中国家用铝箔的现有措施消除了这些进口产品享有的不公平价格优势。如果取消这些措施,将导致欧盟工业失去市场份额,威胁到一些欧盟成员国的就业和生产工厂的生存能力。
中国出口商此前曾试图通过稍微修改产品或通过泰国运输来规避欧盟现有的关税。欧盟通过将反倾销措施扩大到2017年的修改后的产品和2021年从泰国进口的产品来应对这些规避企图。(关务小二翻译仅供参考,详情请见上面原文)
