EU maintains anti-dumping duties on glass fibre fabrics from China and Egypt
Importers of glass fibre fabrics from China or Egypt must keep applying EU anti-dumping duties of up to 69% and 33.1%, including on Morocco- and Türkiye-routed consignments
Change
On 8 June 2026, the European Commission adopted Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1203, maintaining definitive anti-dumping duties on woven/stitched glass fibre fabrics from China (up to 69.0%) and Egypt (33.1%) for a further period after an Article 11(2) expiry review, including the existing anti-circumvention extensions to consignments from Morocco and Türkiye; it enters into force the day after publication on 9 June 2026.
Why it matters
The expiry review found continued dumping (margins of 59.0% for China and 100.26% for Egypt) and material injury to the Union industry, justifying maintenance of the measures. The maintained rates are 69.0% for China (with 37.6% and 34.0% for specified cooperating producers) and 33.1% for Egypt. The duties stay extended to GFF consigned from Morocco and from Türkiye (whether or not declared as such, bar named exempt Turkish producers) and to goods brought to offshore installations on the EU continental shelf or EEZ. Individual and exempt rates require a conforming commercial invoice; absent that, the residual country-wide rate applies.
Implications
- — EU importers and customs-declaration teams sourcing glass fibre fabrics from China or Egypt must continue applying the maintained anti-dumping duties (up to 69.0% for China, 33.1% for Egypt) on every import, since the measures are extended with no lapse, or face duty-recovery and compliance exposure.
- — Importers sourcing GFF consigned from Morocco or Türkiye must continue treating those consignments as caught by the extended duty unless the goods are from a named exempt Turkish producer with a conforming commercial invoice, or risk the residual country-wide rate applying and retroactive liability on circumvention-routed goods.
- — Trade-compliance teams claiming an individual company duty rate or a Turkish exemption must ensure each consignment carries the prescribed dated and signed commercial-invoice declaration, since without it customs apply the higher 'all other imports' rate (69.0% China / 33.1% Egypt).
