The European Commission announced a definitive anti-dumping (AD) duty of 62.5% on imports of steel track shoes originating in China.

The ruling concludes an investigation that covered the investigation period from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024, and the injury assessment period spans from January 1, 2021, to the end of the investigation period.

This AD duty will be imposed on certain steel shoes, with or without rubber pads attached thereto, assembled or not in a track chain, with a maximum length of 3,000 mm, used on machines under headings 8426, 8429, or 8430, or conveyor belts under heading 8428.

The subject goods are under CN codes ex 8431 39 00, ex 8431 49 20, and ex 8431 49 80 (TARIC codes 8431 39 00 22, 8431 39 00 39, 8431 49 20 10, 8431 49 20 29, 8431 49 80 10, and 8431 49 80 29).

This duty does not apply to steel track shoes that are longer than 380 mm, higher than 140 mm, and weigh more than 118 kg, without grousers of any shape with a dimension of 1 mm or more. These excluded products fall under CN codes ex 8431 39 00, ex 8431 49 20, and ex 8431 49 80 (TARIC codes 8431 39 00 15, 8431 39 00 27, 8431 49 20 05, 8431 49 20 20, 8431 49 80 05, and 8431 49 80 20).
