What changed
This regulation imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of certain alkyl phosphonic acids and their sodium salts from China, meaning Chinese exporters were found to be selling these chemicals in the EU below fair market price. However, this regulation has since been repealed, meaning the provisional duty it introduced is no longer in force.
Who is affected
Businesses that import, manufacture, or use alkyl phosphonic acids or their sodium salts — chemicals used in applications such as flame retardants, water treatment, and industrial processes — were the primary parties affected. Since the regulation is repealed, importers should be aware that the legal situation may have changed, either reverting to previous rules or being replaced by a new measure.
What to look out for
→ It is worth checking whether a definitive anti-dumping regulation or a successor measure has been adopted, as provisional duties are typically followed by a final determination. Official information is available at the European Commission's Trade Defence section on trade.ec.europa.eu.
