🇬🇧 English

This EU regulation requires customs authorities to register all imports of benzyl alcohol (CN code 2906 21 00) originating in China. The measure was taken on the Commission's own initiative following the initiation of an anti-dumping investigation on 19 December 2025. Registration enables the possible retroactive collection of anti-dumping duties for a maximum period of nine months if definitive duties are later imposed. The complaint estimated a dumping margin of 79% and injury elimination levels between 25% and 55%.
