Canada has made a final decision regarding the anti-dumping duties and countervailing duties on Cast Iron Soil Pipe (Cast Iron Drainage Pipe) from China (HS: 7303.00.00.10, 7303.00.00.90).
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal, pursuant to the provisions of section 42 of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), has conducted an inquiry to determine whether the dumping and subsidizing of cast iron soil pipe originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China, as defined below (the subject goods), have caused injury or retardation or are threatening to cause injury, as these words are defined in SIMA, and to determine such other matters as the Tribunal is required to determine under that section. The subject goods are defined as:
- Cast iron soil pipe originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China, whether finished or unfinished, regardless of industry or proprietary specifications, and regardless of wall thickness, length, surface finish, end finish, or stenciling, having a nominal outside diameter from 1.5 inches to 18 inches. Cast iron soil pipe is non-malleable iron pipe of various designs and sizes, including but not limited to both hubless and hub and spigot cast iron soil pipe.
- For greater certainty, the product definition includes all pipe meeting the physical description set forth above, whether or not produced according to a particular standard or specification
- Further to the Tribunal’s inquiry, and following the issuance by the President of the Canada Border Services Agency of final determinations dated January 7, 2026, that the above‐mentioned goods have been dumped and subsidized, the Tribunal finds, pursuant to subsection 43(1) of SIMA, that the said dumping and subsidizing have caused injury to the domestic industry.

On February 2nd, 2026, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT), pursuant to subsection 76.03(1) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), initiated an expiry review of its order made on March 25, 2021, in inquiry RR-2020-001, concerning the dumping and subsidizing of certain photovoltaic modules and laminates originating in or exported from China. As a result of the CITT’s expiry review, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has today initiated an expiry review investigation to determine, pursuant to paragraph 76.03(7)(a) of SIMA, whether the expiry of the order is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping and subsidy of the subject goods. The CBSA will make a determination no later than July 2, 2026, and will issue a Statement of Reasons by July 17, 2026. The product definition and the applicable tariff classification numbers of the goods subject to the CITT’s finding are accessible on the CBSA’s Measures in force. Source
EU: Commission acts against dumped imports of high-pressure seamless steel cylinders
The definitive anti-dumping duties range from 57.7% to 90.3%. The imposition of duties follows an investigation that identified unfair trade practices. The investigation covered high-pressure seamless steel cylinders for compressed or liquified gas, of all diameters and volume capacities. Imposing anti-dumping duties will help to restore fair competition between Chinese manufacturers and their EU-based counterparts. The EU’s industry for this product is located in Austria, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany and Italy.
EU: Commission acts against unfairly traded imports of candles from China
The definitive anti-dumping duties imposed range from 56% to 60%. They will be in place for five years. The imposition of the definitive duties results from an investigation which found that imports of candles, tapers and the like from China are entering the EU at dumped prices. This is causing injury to the EU’s industry, which employs some 9,000 people in around 80 companies across the European Union. In the EU market of an estimated 620,000 tonnes (worth around €1,700 million), imports amount to 170,000 tonnes, of which around 140,000 tonnes originate in China.
EU Commission acts against unfairly traded imports of sweetcorn from China
The definitive anti-dumping duties imposed range from 31% to 54.3%. Imposing these duties will help to re-establish fair competitive conditions on the EU market between sweetcorn imported from China and the domestically produced product. The imposition of the duties follows a 14-month investigation, which found that imports of sweetcorn from China are entering the EU at dumped prices. This is causing injury to the EU’s sweetcorn industry, which employs some 3,500 people across France, Hungary, Italy, Poland and Spain. Sweetcorn is a food product for human consumption, typically sold in cans, but also in glass jars, tetra packs or pouches. The EU market for sweetcorn is worth €642 million.

The definitive anti-dumping duties imposed range from 31.3% to 53.8%. The imposition of the definitive duties follows an investigation which found that imports of valine from China were entering the EU at dumped prices. This is causing injury to the EU’s valine industry, located in France. Valine is available in three different grades – food, feed and pharmaceutical. It is used in a range of applications – notably in animal feed (primarily in the pork and poultry sectors) and in the food industry (as a dietary supplement), as well as in the pharmaceutical industry. In an EU market for valine worth €100 million, imports from China are worth some €80 million.

This is causing injury to EU-based manufacturers of this product, located in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain, where some 920 people are directly employed in making it. Provisional duties were already imposed at an earlier stage of the investigation, on 14 August 2025.
EU imposes provisional anti-dumping duties on 1,4-butanediol from China, Saudi Arabia and the US
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/270 of 4 February 2026 imposing provisional anti-dumping duties on imports of 1,4-butanediol originating in the People's Republic of China, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United States of America has been published. The Commission initiated the investigation following a complaint by Union producers that provided sufficient evidence of dumping and resulting injury to the EU industry. The investigation found that the imported BDO was sold in the Union at prices below normal value, which led to price pressure and a deterioration of the financial situation of the Union producers. The European Commission has imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of 1,4-butanediol, normally classified under the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) number 110-63-4 and normally classified under the European Inventory of Existing Chemicals of Commercial Importance (EINECS) under EC number 203-786-5, currently falling under CN codes 2905 39 26 and 2905 39 28, originating in the People's Republic of China, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United States of America. The rate of the provisional anti-dumping duty applicable to the net Union frontier price, duty unpaid, varies for different producers and ranges from 52,4 % to 142,5 %.

EU registers imports of thermosensitive paper from China - possible retroactive duties
The European Commission has issued Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/313 of 6 February 2026, under which all imports of lightweight thermal paper originating in the People's Republic of China are subject to mandatory registration. This decision is part of an ongoing anti-subsidy proceeding, initiated on 7 November 2025. The registration of imports allows the Commission, if subsidisation is confirmed, to impose countervailing duties retroactively on the registered supplies. The measure concerns thermal paper of a grammage of 65 g/m² or less, sold mainly in jumbo rolls of a width of at least 20 cm and a weight of 50 kg or more, falling within CN codes ex 4809 90 00 , ex 4811 90 00 , ex 4816 90 00 and ex 4823 90 85 (mainly, but not exclusively, TARIC codes 4809 90 00 10, 4811 90 00 10, 4816 90 00 10 and 4823 90 85 20). CN and TARIC codes are provided for information purposes only and without prejudice to any subsequent reclassification of tariffs. The aim of the regulation is to safeguard the EU market against potentially underpriced products of the products under investigation and to ensure fair conditions of competition. The regulation enters into force on 10 February 2026 and is directly applicable in all Member States.
EU updates countervailing duties on Chinese electric vehicles
The European Commission has adopted Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/330, which modifies the existing countervailing duties on imports of new battery electric vehicles (BEVs) originating in China. The amendment is the result of a partial interim review carried out pursuant to Article 19(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1037. The review aimed to assess whether the level of public support provided to Chinese producers has changed and whether the existing duty rates still reflect the scale of subsidisation. As a result, the Commission adjusted the level of countervailing duties (20.7%) to maintain the competitive balance in the EU market and prevent distortions caused by unfair trading practices. The regulation enters into force on 11 February 2026 and is directly applicable in all Member States.
