Overview
- An EU notice published on December 4 confirms receipt of Volkswagen Anhui/Seat’s commitment offer and opens a five‑day window for stakeholder comments.
- The offer proposes substituting the 20.7% additional duty with a minimum import price alongside a yearly import quota, with detailed terms not disclosed.
- The European Commission says the investigation should conclude within 12 months, with a maximum of 15 months from the notice date.
- The measure primarily concerns the China‑built Cupra Tavascan, which currently faces a combined 30.7% import charge when adding the 10% basic duty.
- Seat says a decision could take months and it will continue to absorb the extra duty rather than pass it on to customers during the review.
