Importers of Chinese pea protein pay a definitive anti-dumping duty from 26 September 2026.Tulli Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/2101 of 24 September 2026 imposes the definitive duty
Europa and definitively collects the provisional duty imposed by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/916
Europa; the regulation entered into force on 26 September 2026
Europa, the day after its 25 September publication in the Official Journal. Tulli reports the duty as remaining in force for five years.
The duty covers high-protein-content pea protein containing more than 65 percent protein on a dry weight basisEuropa, derived from peas in all physical forms, whether textured or not. The listed customs coverage runs across CN and TARIC codes ex 3504 00 90, ex 2106 10 20, ex 2106 10 80, ex 2106 90 92, ex 2303 10 90, the ex 2309 10 and ex 2309 90 ranges, with the TARIC additional codes in the regulation's Article 1 and Annex.
Rates apply on the net, free-at-Union-frontier price before dutyEuropa: 40.5 percent for the Sanjia Group
Europa, for Yantai Oriental Protein Tech Co., Ltd.
Europa and Jiujiang Tiantai Food Co., Ltd.
Europa, and for the other cooperating companies listed in the Annex
Europa; 67.1 percent for Yantai Shuangta Food Co. Ltd.
Europa and 67.1 percent for all other imports originating in China
Europa. The Commission set each definitive rate at the dumping margin, the lower of the dumping and injury margins found.
The regulation conditions the company-specific rates on presentation of a valid commercial invoiceEuropa with the signed declaration that the pea protein sold for export to the Union was manufactured by the named company in China
Europa; until such an invoice is presented, the duty for all other imports from China applies
Europa. Member-state customs may still require further documents such as shipping papers to verify the declaration.
Amounts secured under the provisional duty are definitively collectedEuropa, and amounts secured in excess of the definitive rates are released
Europa. In practice Tulli releases the securities lodged during the provisional period and sends the importer a post-collection decision (jälkikantopäätös) for the duty owed on those goods. The registration imposed in October 2025 produced no retroactive collection: the Commission found no further substantial rise in imports beyond the injury-causing level — a monthly average of 954 tonnes during the investigation period against 826 tonnes from September 2025 to March 2026 — so the Article 10(4) conditions were not met.
Legal basis: Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/2101 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and definitively collecting the provisional duty on pea protein from China; Tulli notice of 28 September 2026.
Importers of Chinese pea protein should apply the correct company-specific rate with a valid commercial invoice carrying the Article 1(3) manufacturer declaration, and expect Tulli to release provisional securities and send a post-collection decision for goods imported under the provisional duty.
