Anti-dumping duties

What is anti-dumping?

Countries may apply anti-dumping measures against imports of a product at an export price below its ‘normal value’ (usually the price of the product in the domestic market of the exporting country) if such dumped imports cause injury to a domestic industry.

What are legal acts concerning anti-dumping duties?

It is Agreement on Implementation of Article VI (Anti-dumping) of General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). In the EU, it is Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Union.

How the proceedings can be initiated in the EU?

An investigation shall be initiated upon a written complaint by any natural or legal person, acting on behalf of the Union industry. The complaint may be submitted to the Commission or to a Member State, which shall forward it to the Commission.

How anti-dumping duties are imposed?

Anti-dumping duties are imposed by regulation, published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJ), for example, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/926 of 15 June 2022 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of tubes and pipes of ductile cast iron (also known as spheroidal graphite cast iron) originating in India.

How long an anti-dumping measure remains in force?

An anti-dumping measure shall remain in force only as long as, and to the extent that, it is necessary to counteract the dumping which is causing injury. A definitive anti-dumping measure shall expire five years from its imposition, for example, see the Notice of the expiry of certain anti-dumping measures published in the OJ C 369 (27.9.2022). 

Where can I check if the product I plan to import into the EU is subject to an anti-dumping duty?

Transport services VAT exempt because already in import tax base? You will need to prove it!
24-09-2023

The Romanian company provides transportation services. It transported goods from the port of Rotterdam (the Netherlands) to Cluj-Napoca (Romania) under transit procedure. Goods were released into free circulation in Romania. It treated transportation service as VAT exempt because it assumed that transportation cost was included into the import VAT taxable base. Tax authorities claimed otherwise: the taxpayer failed to provide documents confirming that the transportation cost was included into the import VAT taxable base. Consequently, they denied the exemption. The dispute between the company and the tax authorities reached as far as the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU), which recently issued clarifications on the application of the provisions of the VAT Directive in this case.

Apgavikai tiekimo grandinėje: kas moka mokesčius dėl apgaulės būdu užbaigtų formalumų?
24-09-2023

Kaltumo prezumpcija - sakysite, kad taip nebūna. Deja - mokesčių teisėje laikoma, kad dėl mokesčio įstatymo pažeidimo kaltas mokesčių mokėtojas, jeigu jis neįrodo priešingai. Tik klausimas, ar net ir įrodžius savo nekaltumą, mokesčių mokėtojui neteks susimokėti mokesčius. Aktualiu sprendimu Europos Sąjungos Teisingumo Teismas (ESTT) išaiškino, ar akcizinio sandėlio savininkui (kurio kaltė neįrodyta) teks sumokėti suspenduotus mokesčius (šioje byloje - beveik 3 mln. Eur) tuo atveju, kai formalumų užbaigimo įrodymai buvo suklastoti, o prekės nugabentos nežinia kur. Išaiškinimai svarbūs ne tik akcizinių sandėlių savininkams, bet ir visiems suspenduotų mokesčių režimų – tranzito, muitinės sandėlio, laikinojo įvežimo perdirbti ir kitų – naudotojams, siekiantiems kuo geriau suprasti, įsivertinti ir valdyti susijusią riziką. ESTT taip pat išaiškino, kuomet prekės laikomos „prarastomis“ ir mokesčių nereikia mokėti.

Who is responsible for CBAM in the company?
17-09-2023

If you import aluminium, steel and iron products, cement, fertilisers, hydrogen or electricity, you should already have answered the question of who in your company speaks the language of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), i.e. is knowledgeable in this area and responsible for compliance. And not just you, but also your suppliers from outside the EU, as they will provide you with information on the carbon emissions generated in the production of goods. So who in your supplier company speaks the CBAM language? In this article we look at the links between CBAM and customs, as well as other areas, to help you answer the question of whether the primary responsibility for CBAM compliance should lie with the person responsible for customs matters.
