PVDF from China, India and Japan faces EU dumping probe: ask to be heard

Companies that manufacture polyvinylidene fluoride or import it from China, India or Japan must decide now whether to seek a hearing in a new European Union anti-dumping case. The European Commission has opened an investigation, on the basis of a complaint it received, into whether anti-dumping duties should be imposed on imports of Chinese, Indian and Japanese polyvinylidene fluoride.Tulli The product is currently classified under CN code ex 3904 69 80, with Taric codes 3904 69 80 97 and 3904 69 80 98.

Anyone concerned can ask the Commission to be heard within the time limit set in Commission Notice C/2026/5554Tulli, which carries fuller information about the investigationTulli. Acting within that time limit matters because it is the only way to influence how the case is handled. A company that considers itself concerned should therefore check the notice, identify the applicable deadline for its position, and lodge the hearing request in time.

Imports of the product are to be made subject to a registration obligation already at an early stage of the investigation.Tulli Registration does not itself impose the dutyTulli; it preserves the option to collect duties on those registered imports if the investigation ends in measuresTulli, and it makes that later collection decision easier for the Commission. The regulation imposing the registration obligation will be published in good time, so importers and declarants handling goods under the two Taric codes should watch for it and prepare to declare registration-covered imports correctly from the start.

The Commission examines and handles the introduction of anti-dumping duties for the whole EUTulli, so there is no parallel national assessment running alongside itTulli. Finnish Customs (Tulli) has no power to decide the case and only provides information about it.Tulli Practical questions about anti-dumping and countervailing duties, current duties and ongoing investigations can be directed to Tulli business advice at yritysneuvonta@tulli.fi.

The procedure runs under Commission Notice C/2026/5554 for polyvinylidene fluoride under CN code ex 3904 69 80.Tulli
