China Finalizes Anti-Dumping Tariffs on EU Pork Imports Effective Dec. 17

Beijing says the five-year levies protect domestic producers following findings of EU dumping.

Im Handelskonflikt mit der EU hat China angekündigt, ab Mittwoch Zölle auf europäisches Schweinefleisch zu erheben. Grund dafür sei, dass Schweinefleisch aus der EU "gedumpt" worden sei, was der chinesischen Industrie "erheblichen Schaden" zugefügt habe.

Overview

  • Tariffs ranging from 4.9% to 19.8% will apply to pork and by-products from EU suppliers on a company-specific basis.
  • The final rates are markedly lower than the provisional 15.6% to 62.4% duties announced in September.
  • Implementation begins on December 17 following an investigation opened in June 2024.
  • Exports from Spain, the Netherlands and Denmark are most affected, with EU pork sales to China exceeding €2 billion last year.
  • The move forms part of broader China–EU trade tensions that include EU levies on Chinese electric vehicles, Chinese duties on European brandy, and an anti-subsidy probe into EU milk products extended to February 2026.
