On 1 July 2024, the EU opened an anti-dumping investigation concerning EU imports of epoxy resins originating in the People’s Republic of China, the Republic of Korea, Taiwan and Thailand which could lead to substantial anti-dumping duties on future imports.

The product under investigation for alleged dumping is products containing more than 35% by weight of epoxy resins.

These are also known as "epoxide resins" or "polyepoxides" which are polymers or prepolymers containing reactive epoxy groups,

  • based on epichlorohydrin (‘ECH’) and an aliphatic or aromatic alcoholic component (such as BPA),
  • in solid, semi-solid or liquid forms, having all types of grade, purity, molecule weight or molecular structure,
  • whether or not containing modifiers, curing agents, or additives, so long as the curing agents have not chemically reacted so as to cure the epoxy resin or convert it into a different product no longer containing epoxy groups.

The product under investigation is currently classified under CN codes ex 2910 90 00, ex 3824 99 92, ex 3824 99 93, and ex 3907 30 00 (TARIC codes 2910 90 00 05, 3824 99 92 96, 3824 99 93 10, 3907 30 00 05, 3907 30 00 20, and 3907 30 00 80).

Affected parties, including importers and EU users wishing to comment and defend their interests, can participate in the investigation. Deadlines for participation can be as short as 7 days, so quick action is required if parties intend to participate.
