🇬🇧 English

This EU regulation requires customs authorities to register all imports of new mobile cranes from China with a lifting capacity of at least 30 tonnes. The measure was adopted on 26 February 2026 following the initiation of an anti-dumping investigation in December 2025. Registration allows potential anti-dumping duties to be collected retroactively for up to nine months if the investigation concludes that dumping and injury have occurred. The product scope specifically excludes rough-terrain cranes, truck-mounted cranes, straddle carriers and reach stackers.
