The European Commission has decided to extend anti-dumping (AD) duties on ferro-silicon imports originating from China and Russia, following the conclusion of its third expiry review. The review found that the expiry of the existing measures would likely result in a continuation of dumping and renewed harm to the EU domestic industry. The extended duties came into effect on July 29.
Under the renewed measures, Chinese producers face duties ranging from 15.6% to 31.2%. Specifically, imports from Erdos Xijin Kuangye Co., Ltd. are subject to a 15.6% duty, those from Lanzhou Good Land Ferroalloy Factory Co., Ltd. face a 29% duty, and imports from all other Chinese companies are subject to a 31.2% duty. Russian producers are subject to duties between 17.8% and 22.7%. The measures apply to products classified under CN codes 7202 21 00, 7202 29 10, and 7202 29 90.
The expiry review was initiated on June 30, 2025, following a request submitted on March 28, 2025, by Euroalliages, the Brussels-based association representing European ferro-alloy producers, on behalf of the EU ferro-silicon industry.
The anti-dumping investigation period covered January 1 through December 31, 2024, while the injury assessment period extended from January 1, 2021, to the end of the investigation period.
This marks the third extension of the measures since they were originally imposed in February 2008. The duties were previously extended in April 2014 and again in July 2020.
According to data from China's General Administration of Customs (GACC), China exported approximately 3,415 tonnes of ferro-silicon to the EU in 2025, accounting for just 0.85% of its total ferro-silicon exports. In the first half of this year, exports to the EU totaled 2,542 tonnes.
Under the renewed measures, Chinese producers face duties ranging from 15.6% to 31.2%. Specifically, imports from Erdos Xijin Kuangye Co., Ltd. are subject to a 15.6% duty, those from Lanzhou Good Land Ferroalloy Factory Co., Ltd. face a 29% duty, and imports from all other Chinese companies are subject to a 31.2% duty.
