This Turkish regulation opens an anti-circumvention investigation into Romanian-origin or Romanian-exported pipe fittings (GTP 7307.19) following an application by Trakya Döküm San. ve Tic. A.Ş. The probe aims to determine whether anti-dumping duties on Chinese (PRC) pipe fittings are being evaded by routing goods through Romania. Statistics show Romanian imports of the product into Turkey surged from 79 tons in 2023 to 1,419 tons in 2025, increasing its share of total imports from 1% to 16%. Eurostat data indicates China supplies 60-61% of Romania’s imports of these goods in recent periods, with Turkish market absorbing up to 85% of Romania’s exports of the product. The investigation will be conducted by the Ministry of Trade’s Directorate General of Imports under Law 3577 and related regulations.
