European Commission orders registration of acrylic ester imports
EU importers must price retroactive duty exposure on acrylic esters
EUR-Lex
·
Change
European Commission made EU imports of specified acrylic esters from China, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and the US subject to customs registration under TARIC code 2916 12 00 15.
Why it matters
The registration allows possible retroactive anti-dumping duties if the Commission later imposes definitive measures and the legal conditions are met. Importers of butyl acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate from the named countries now face a defined registration window and possible future liability.
Implications
- — EU importers of butyl acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate from China, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and the US must flag covered entries under TARIC code 2916 12 00 15 because the Commission has made those imports subject to customs registration.
- — Customs brokers handling covered acrylic ester imports into the EU must prepare entry documentation for registration because customs authorities are directed to register the imports under Article 14(5) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036.
- — Procurement and finance teams using covered acrylic esters must price possible retroactive anti-dumping duty exposure because future liability can attach to imports registered during the investigation.
