The European Commission has introduced registration measures for certain steel products imported into the EU from China and Turkey. The measures form part of ongoing anti-dumping investigations and could result in duties being imposed retroactively.
Welded steel mesh
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/2022 covers certain welded steel mesh originating in China and Turkey.
The products include mesh and latticework made from plain wire and welded at the points of intersection. They may be presented in rolls and may or may not be galvanised.
The relevant CN codes are 7314 20 90, 7314 31 00 and 7314 39 00.
Steel shelving
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/2023 covers bolted and boltless steel shelving and parts thereof originating in China.
The products include steel uprights and beams, with or without shelves or decks. They are classified under ex 9403 20 80 and ex 9403 99 10, with TARIC codes 9403 20 80 20 and 9403 99 10 20.
What does this mean for importers?
Registration does not mean that definitive anti-dumping duties have been imposed. However, it allows duties to be applied retroactively to registered imports if the applicable legal conditions are met.
Importers should check whether their products fall within the scope of these investigations and monitor further developments, as the outcome could affect the cost of importing the products concerned.
