#32026R0704Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/704 amending anti-dumping duties on graphite electrode systems from China
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation removes the individual 23% anti-dumping duty rate previously granted to Liaoning Dantan Technology Group Co., Ltd. (TARIC code C732). The Commission rejected the company's request to transfer this preferential rate to its new name Liaoning Dantan New Materials Co., Ltd. following a complex internal restructuring involving multiple asset transfers between group companies in 2023. Imports manufactured by the new entity will now be subject to the higher residual duty rate applicable to other cooperating companies. The decision was based on significant changes in corporate structure, asset transfers from companies without individual rates, and differences from precedent cases such as the GITI Group.
