EU Commission imposes definitive safeguard measures on certain ferroalloys
On November 18, 2025, the European Union (EU) Commission imposed definitive safeguard measures on certain ferroalloys consisting of country- specific tariff rate quotas (TRQs) by product type, limiting the volume of imports to enter the EU duty-free. Imports exceeding these quota volumes may enter duty- free if their price exceeds the established threshold. For imports priced below the established threshold the applicable duty will be the equivalent to the difference between the net free-at-Union-frontier price and the established price threshold for each type of product. The safeguard measures apply to all third countries including Norway and Iceland which are part of the European Economic Area. The measures are applicable from November 19th, 2025. The measures will be in place for a period of three years, expiring on 17 November 2028.

United Kingdom: TRA recommendation to impose duties on Chinese biodiesel accepted
On the 24 November 2025, the Secretary of State accepted the Trade Remedies Authority’s final recommendation to apply a new anti-dumping duty on imports of biodiesel from China. The TRA found that Chinese biodiesel has been dumped in the UK at unfairly low prices, causing material injury to UK producers, including Argent Energy and Olleco.
Following its analysis of the evidence and responses from interested parties to the Statement of Essential Facts, the TRA has confirmed that the application of an anti-dumping measure is in the UK’s economic interest and made a final recommendation to apply duties. These duties will help ensure fair competition for UK producers while maintaining a level playing field in the renewable fuel market.
The measures recommended by the TRA are ad valorem duties of:
- 14.79% for the Zhuoyue Group and non-sampled cooperating exporters
- 54.64% for all other exporters
These duties will apply to imports of biodiesel, including fatty-acid mono-alkylesters (FAME) or paraffinic gasoils obtained from synthesis or hydrotreatment of non-fossil origin (HVO) in pure form or as included in a blend, excluding sustainable aviation fuel, in pure form or as included in a blend. The duties will come into effect from Tuesday 25 November 2025. Source
