🇬🇧 English

This regulation removes the TARIC additional code C114 exemption previously granted to DSM Nutritional Products Canada Inc. from the definitive anti-dumping duty of EUR 172.2 per tonne on US-origin biodiesel. The company had requested a name change to KD Pharma Canada Ltd, but the Commission determined that no genuine change of company name occurred because DSM Nutritional Products Canada Inc. continues to exist as a separate legal entity. After investigation and disclosure of findings on 8 January 2026, with no comments received from the company, the exemption is withdrawn effective the day after publication. The anti-dumping and countervailing measures originally imposed in 2021 and extended to Canada in 2011 remain in force for all other parties.
