#52026XC02964EU Opens Anti-Dumping Investigation Into Chinese PBAT and PBSeT Imports
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The EU is investigating whether Chinese imports of certain biodegradable copolyesters, mainly PBAT and PBSeT, are being sold in Europe at unfairly low prices and harming EU producers. These materials are used in biodegradable plastics and related industrial applications. Importers, Chinese exporters, EU producers, and downstream users should prepare for possible trade measures, including extra duties if the Commission confirms dumping and injury. Businesses with relevant product-scope information have a short window to submit comments.
