An anti-dumping investigation preceding the imposition of measures showed that imports of tinplate from China had been dumped on the EU market – which is worth €2.7 billion annually – and were causing damage to EU tinplate producers.
The anti-dumping duties will serve to re-establish fair competitive conditions on the EU market between tinplate imported from China and tinplate produced in the EU. Provisional duties had already been imposed on 14 January 2025.
Tinplate is commonly used in the production of tin cans for food packaging or aerosol sprays.
