Tariffs slapped on Chinese biodiesel imports after anti-dumping probe

The UK’s Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) has published its Statement of Essential Facts (SEF) in the anti-dumping investigation into biodiesel imports from China.
The investigation found that Chinese biodiesel is being dumped in the UK at unfairly low prices, causing material injury to UK producers.
The TRA also concluded that applying anti-dumping measures would be in the UK’s economic interest.
As a result, the TRA has proposed introducing ad-valorem anti-dumping duties, including 15.68% for the Zhuoyue Group and non-sampled cooperating exporters and 54.64% for all other exporters.
The products covered in the investigation include biodiesel fuels, specifically fatty-acid mono-alkyl esters (FAME) and hydrotreated vegetable oils (HVO) used in pure form or blended and commonly supplied for use as road transport fuel in the UK.
