The definitive anti-dumping duties, ranging from 39.8% to 48.1%, will be in place for five years. Provisional duties between 45.6% and 50% had been in force since May 2026.
The imposition of definitive duties follows an investigation that found imports of PET Spunbond from China were entering the EU at dumped prices. This is causing injury to the EU's own industry, located in Germany, Italy, and France. The EU market for this product is valued at €200 million.
PET Spunbond is a non-woven fabric made from needle-punched sheets of polyester filaments, whether reinforced by glass fibre or not. It is used as a carrier for waterproofing material, for example, on roofing in the construction sector.
