This is a Commission Implementing Regulation imposing provisional anti-dumping duties on imports of lysine originating in China. The regulation imposes provisional anti-dumping duties ranging from 58.3% to 84.8% on imports of lysine and its derivatives from China. The duties will apply for 6 months. Key provisions include:
- The investigation found evidence of dumping by Chinese exporters causing material injury to the EU industry
- Individual duty rates were set for two company groups (Meihua at 84.8% and Eppen at 58.3%)
- Other cooperating companies received a duty of 71.6%
- All other Chinese imports will face the highest rate of 84.8%
- The duties apply to lysine in various forms including hydrochloride, sulphate and liquid forms
- Application of individual rates requires presentation of valid commercial invoices
The regulation contains detailed analysis of dumping calculations, injury assessment, causation and Union interest considerations that led to imposing the measures. The duties aim to counter unfair trade practices while maintaining supply to the EU market.
