🇬🇧 English

The regulation makes anti-dumping duties permanent on imports of 1,4-Butanediol from China, Saudi Arabia and the United States, and confirms the collection of provisional duties already charged. 1,4-Butanediol is a chemical input used in industrial materials, plastics, solvents and related manufacturing chains. Importers, distributors and manufacturers using this product in the EU should expect higher landed costs for affected supplies unless they can source from exempt or lower-duty suppliers. EU producers receive stronger protection against imports the Commission found were being sold at unfairly low prices.
