What changed
This regulation imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of PET Spunbond (a type of polyester fabric used in packaging, agriculture, hygiene products, and construction) from China, on the grounds that it was being sold in the EU at artificially low prices. However, the regulation has since been repealed, meaning the provisional duty it introduced is no longer in force.
Who is affected
Businesses importing PET Spunbond from China into the EU were the primary parties affected, as were EU manufacturers of the same material who sought protection from cheaper Chinese competition. End-users of PET Spunbond products may also have been impacted through price changes.
What to look out for
→ If your business imports or uses PET Spunbond from China, it is worth checking whether a definitive anti-dumping measure has replaced this provisional regulation, as repeal of a provisional duty can indicate either the investigation was closed or a permanent regulation was adopted.
