Definition
Anti-dumping duty is an additional customs charge imposed by the European Union on imports from third countries that are sold on the EU market at prices below their normal value (i.e., below the domestic market price of the exporter or below production costs). Such practices, called dumping, constitute unfair competition that can cause material injury to EU industry.
The procedure for imposing anti-dumping duties is governed by Regulation (EU) 2016/1036. The European Commission conducts investigations upon complaint from EU industry or on its own initiative. Anti-dumping duties are imposed for up to 5 years with the possibility of extension.
The rate of anti-dumping duty is set individually — it varies by producer/exporter and can range from a few to several dozen percent. Anti-dumping duties are identified in the TARIC system at digits 9-10 and are added to the standard MFN duty rate. They most commonly apply to imports from China (steel, aluminium, ceramics, footwear, solar panels).
