[The Ministry of Commerce Imposes Countervailing Duties on Dairy Products Originating from the EU] According to the Ministry of Commerce, Announcement No. 9 of 2026 has been issued, making a final determination on the countervailing investigation of certain imported dairy products originating from the EU. The investigation confirmed that these dairy products are subsidized, causing material damage to domestic industries in China. It has been decided to impose countervailing duties starting from February 13, 2026. The tax will be levied ad valorem based on the customs-determined taxable price of the imported goods, with an implementation period of five years. Relevant interested parties may apply for a review during this period, and those dissatisfied with the ruling may apply for administrative reconsideration or litigation in accordance with the law.
