EU Imposes Definitive Anti-Dumping Duties of Up to 67.6% on Chinese Polyamide Yarn Imports

On July 28, 2026, the European Commission published its final ruling imposing definitive anti-dumping duties ranging from 60.0% to 67.6% on polyamide yarn imports originating from China . The measures, published as Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1823, cover the EU market valued at approximately €400 million.

Duty Rates by Company

• Fujian Eversun Group and related companies: 60.0% 

• Fujian Highsun Group and related companies: 67.6% 

• Other cooperating Chinese exporters: 62.2% 

• Non-cooperating exporters: 67.6% 

Impact on the Industry

The investigation was conducted under Article 2(6a) of the EU's anti-dumping regulation, which permits the Commission to disregard domestic prices when significant market distortions are found in China's polyamide yarn sector . A benchmark was constructed using Türkiye as a representative market economy .

The duties target polyamide yarn imports rather than finished garments, but any increase in raw material costs may flow through the value chain, potentially affecting European fabric buyers and sportswear manufacturers .

Affected EU CN Codes

• 54023100, 54024500, 54025100, 54026100 

Background

The anti-dumping investigation was initiated on July 29, 2025, following a complaint from the Ad Hoc Coalition of European Producers of Yarns of Polyamide. Provisional measures took effect in March 2026 and have now been made definitive .
