Importers of Chinese pea protein now face definitive anti-dumping duties at the border. Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/2101 imposes definitive duties on high protein content pea proteinEuropa — containing more than 65 % protein on a dry weight basisEuropa, in all physical forms (including solid and liquid forms), whether textured or notEuropa — originating in the People's Republic of ChinaEuropa. The duty applies to the net, free-at-Union-frontier price before duty, and individual rates apply only against a valid commercial invoice identifying the manufacturer; without that invoice, the residual rate applies.

The definitive rates are 40,5 % for the Sanjia GroupEuropa and the other cooperating companies listed in the AnnexEuropa, and 67,1 % for Yantai Shuangta Food Co. Ltd.Europa and for all other imports from ChinaEuropa. The duties were set at the dumping margins, which lie below the injury margins of 81,9 % for Sanjia and 130,8 % for Shuangta, in line with Article 9(4) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation (EU) 2016/1036. The product falls under a long list of CN codes — ex 3504 00 90, ex 2106 10 20, ex 2106 10 80, ex 2106 90 92, ex 2303 10 90 and numerous ex 2309 positions — with the TARIC codes and additional codes set out in Article 1 and the Annex.

Amounts secured under the provisional duties imposed by Regulation (EU) 2026/916 on 28 April 2026 are now definitively collectedEuropa, and any amount secured in excess of the definitive rates is released. For Shuangta the definitive rate of 67,1 % sits just below its provisional rate of 67,4 %, so a small excess is released; the Sanjia and cooperating-company rates are unchanged at 40,5 %.

The Commission concluded that the conditions for retroactive collection of definitive duties on registered imports were not metEuropa: average monthly import volumes after initiation — 826 tonnes for September 2025 to March 2026 and 795 tonnes including April 2026 — showed no further substantial rise over the investigation-period average of 954 tonnes, as Article 10(4) of the basic Regulation requires. The investigation itself ran from a complaint by the Ad Hoc Coalition of Union Pea Protein Producers on 15 July 2025, through initiation on 29 August 2025 and registration under Regulation (EU) 2025/2144, to provisional measures in April 2026.

New exporting producers that shipped nothing during the investigation period of 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025, are unrelated to a producer subject to the measures, and have since exported or irrevocably contracted to export significant quantities may ask to be added to the cooperating-companies rate of 40,5 %. The regulation enters into force on the day following its publication in the Official JournalEuropa — publication took place on 25 September 2026Europa.

Legal basis: Article 9(4) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036; provisional duties under Regulation (EU) 2026/916; registration under Regulation (EU) 2025/2144.

Importers of Chinese pea protein should apply the correct company-specific duty rate with a valid commercial invoice identifying the manufacturer, reconcile securities lodged under the provisional duty, and new exporters meeting the three Article 3 conditions should consider requesting the cooperating-companies rate.
