The European Commission has opened an anti-dumping investigation, on the basis of a complaint it received, into whether anti-dumping duties should be imposed on imports of certain cellulose ethers from China and Korea.Tulli The product is currently classified under CN code ex 3912 39 85Tulli, with Taric codes 3912 39 85 30, 3912 39 85 60 and 3912 39 85 90. Tulli published the notice on 25 September 2026.

The investigation is detailed in Commission notice C/2026/4924Tulli, and all parties concerned may request a hearing with the Commission within the stated deadlineTulli. Tulli stresses that the Commission investigates and decides on the introduction of anti-dumping duties for the EU as a wholeTulli: Finnish Customs has no decision-making power in the matterTulli and is only informing about it. For an affected business, acting within the deadline is the only way to influence the handling of the case.Tulli

A further step with direct commercial consequences is already announced. Imports of the cellulose ethers concerned are to be placed under a registration obligation (kirjaamisvelvoite) at an early stage of the investigationTulli, and the regulation imposing it will be published in good time. Registration is the mechanism the Commission uses to track export trade into the EU once dumping is suspected: where a product heading carries a registration note, the Commission has ordered EU countries to register the imports, which in turn makes it easier to decide on collecting duties on the registered imports retroactivelyEuropa.

Manufacturers of cellulose ethers and importers bringing them in from China or Korea — and any other party concerned — should therefore take three steps nowTulli: check whether their goods fall under the stated CN and Taric codes, request a hearing with the Commission within the deadline set in notice C/2026/4924Europa, and prepare for the coming registration obligation, including keeping manufacturer documentation in order, since company-specific duty treatment in anti-dumping cases can depend on proving which company manufactured the goodsTulli.

Legal basis: Commission notice C/2026/4924; Tullin tiedote on polkumyyntitutkimuksen aloittamisesta.

Check whether your cellulose-ether imports from China or Korea fall under CN ex 3912 39 85, and request a hearing with the Commission within the deadline in notice C/2026/4924.
