Overview
- The European Commission published guidance explaining how Chinese exporters can submit price offers, including minimum import prices, to offset subsidy effects.
- Proposals may include model- and configuration-specific price floors, with reviews also considering sales channels, cross-compensation, and planned investments in the EU.
- EU trade officials stressed that evaluations will be objective and non-discriminatory, and said the document is a guide rather than an agreement with China.
- Anti-subsidy duties of up to 35.3% on Chinese-made electric vehicles stay in force until any individual commitments are approved.
- China’s Ministry of Commerce welcomed the move as progress toward resolving the dispute, as Chinese-built cars reached about 6% of EU sales in the first half of 2025.
