The European Commission has opened an anti-dumping investigation on complaint into imports of polyvinyl chloride originating in China, Korea, Mexico and Taiwan.Tulli The product under investigation currently falls under CN code ex 3904 10 00, TARIC codes 3904 10 00 21 and 3904 10 00 81.
Tulli Further detail on the investigation is set out in Commission notice C/2026/4912.
Anyone concerned may submit a request to the Commission to be heard within the time limit laid down in that notice.Tulli Union producers, importers, exporters and users of the product that want to influence the handling of the case must act within that limit
Tulli: a timely request is the only way to take part

Imports of the polyvinyl chloride concerned are to be made subject to registration already at an early stage of the investigation. Registration makes it easier for the Commission to decide later to collect duties on the registered imports; the regulation imposing the registration obligation will be published in good time.
The Commission examines the introduction of anti-dumping duties for the Union as a whole. Tulli, the Finnish Customs, has no decision-making power in the matter; it passes on the information to traders.
A comparable earlier proceeding on suspension polyvinyl chloride (S-PVC) from Egypt and the United States shows what is at stake: initiated on complaint in November 2023, it led first to provisional duties in July 2024 under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1896 and then to definitive company-specific duties under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/36, with the provisional amounts definitively collected. Importers of PVC under CN code ex 3904 10 00 originating in China, Korea, Mexico or Taiwan should therefore prepare for registration and track the investigationTulli
Tulli, since duties on their goods may follow

Legal basis: Commission notice C/2026/4912; Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 on protection against dumped imports; Implementing Regulations (EU) 2024/1896 and (EU) 2025/36 (earlier PVC proceeding).
Importers, exporters, producers and users concerned should request a hearing with the Commission within the time limit in notice C/2026/4912 and prepare for registration of the PVC imports concerned.
