EU imposes definitive duties on Chinese adipic acid
EU importers must verify producer invoices or pay the 42.3% residual duty
Change
EU Regulation 2026/913 imposed definitive anti-dumping duties of 29.1% to 42.3% on adipic acid imports from China from 6 May 2026.
Why it matters
Adipic acid imports under CN 2917 12 00 now face producer-specific anti-dumping rates. Individual rates apply only when customs authorities receive a compliant Article 1(3) commercial invoice. Without that invoice, the 42.3% residual duty applies.
Implications
- — EU customs and trade compliance teams must verify the Article 1(3) invoice declaration and TARIC additional code from 6 May 2026 — entries without compliant invoices default to the 42.3% residual rate.
- — Importer finance teams must reconcile provisional duties secured under Regulation 2025/2287 — excess secured amounts are released and definitive amounts are collected.
Who is affected
- — EU importers of Chinese adipic acid
- — Customs and trade compliance teams handling CN 2917 12 00 entries
- — Importer finance teams reconciling provisional duties
What to watch
- — 6 May 2026 — definitive duties apply to Chinese adipic acid imports
