Europa. Tulli stresses it has no decision-making power in the matter; it only announces the measure.
The registration follows the anti-dumping proceeding the Commission opened on 9 July 2026 on a complaint lodged on 26 May 2026 by five Union producers of Pekin duck representing more than 25 percent of Union production. The product under registration is meat of Pekin duck, including not cut in pieces, cuts, fresh, chilled, frozen, salted, in brine, dried, smoked, with bones, boneless and other prepared or preserved meat of Pekin duckEuropa, currently classified under CN codes ex 0207 41 20, ex 0207 41 30, ex 0207 41 80, ex 0207 42 30, ex 0207 42 80, ex 0207 44 10, ex 0207 44 21, ex 0207 44 31, ex 0207 44 41, ex 0207 44 51, ex 0207 44 61, ex 0207 44 71, ex 0207 44 81, ex 0207 45 10, ex 0207 45 21, ex 0207 45 31, ex 0207 45 41, ex 0207 45 51, ex 0207 45 61, ex 0207 45 71, ex 0207 45 81, ex 0210 99 39, ex 1602 39 21, ex 1602 39 29 and ex 1602 39 85, with the corresponding TARIC codes in Article 1.
Any future liability flows from the investigation's findings. The complaint estimated dumping margins of 132 to 223 percent and an injury elimination level of 152 to 210 percent for 2025, with any duty normally set at the lower of the two — but the Commission states it cannot yet estimate the amount, so the complaint figures are information only and create no expectation of the eventual level.
Importers, declarants and brokers moving Chinese Pekin duck under the listed codes should therefore treat the registration period as creating retroactive exposureTulli: keep import documentation complete so any eventual duty can be assessed correctly.
Legal basis: Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/2118 making imports of Pekin duck from China subject to registrationEuropa; Tulli notice of 28 September 2026.
Importers and brokers of Chinese Pekin duck should keep import documentation complete during the nine-month registration period, since registered imports may face retroactive anti-dumping duties if the investigation leads to measures.
