EUR-Lex, the EU&#8217;s official law database, lists 31 October 2026 as its date of effect and 31 October 2031 as its end date<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\" id=\"hsn-cite-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short, Chinese PET spunbond entering the EU now pays an extra import tax of 39.8% to 48.1% for five years. Money already secured under the temporary duties since May 2026 will be collected for good.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is PET spunbond and where is it used?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PET spunbond is a non-woven fabric made from polyester threads that are punched together with needles<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\" id=\"hsn-cite-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. It may be reinforced with glass fibre or not<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. Its main use is as a carrier for waterproofing material, for example on roofs in the construction sector<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The provisional regulation explains how the fabric is made<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\" id=\"hsn-cite-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. Factories melt plastic pellets called PET chips and spin them into long threads. The threads are laid into a web, joined by needle-punching and held together with a starch or plastic binder<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buyers usually receive it in large rolls or cut to size<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. Roofing makers soak this carrier in bitumen, a petroleum-based material that keeps water out, to make <strong>bituminous roofing membranes<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which PET spunbond imports pay the new duty?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The duty covers a narrow product defined by weight, thickness and glass content. The goods must be non-woven, needle-punched sheets of polyester filaments, with or without glass fibre<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. They must also meet all of these conditions<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>weight above 70 g\/m2<\/strong>, meaning more than 70 grams per square metre;<\/li>\n<li><strong>thickness above 0.5 mm<\/strong> and no more than 1.8 mm;<\/li>\n<li><strong>impregnated with one or more binders<\/strong>, the glue that holds the fibres together;<\/li>\n<li><strong>less than 30% glass fibre<\/strong> by weight;<\/li>\n<li><strong>not coated or covered<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"hsn-fig hsn-fig--solid hsn-fig--v4\" data-at=\"which-pet-spunbond-imports-pay-the-new-duty\">\n  <div class=\"hsn-fig__table\">\n    <h4>What the covered fabric must be<\/h4>\n    <div class=\"pcrstb-wrap\"><table>\n      <thead>\n        <tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>Condition<\/th><\/tr>\n      <\/thead>\n      <tbody>\n        <tr><th>Weight<\/th><td>Above 70 g\/m2<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>Thickness<\/th><td>Above 0.5 mm, up to 1.8 mm<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>Binder<\/th><td>Impregnated with one or more binders<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>Glass fibre<\/th><td>Less than 30% by weight<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>Surface<\/th><td>Not coated or covered<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>Origin<\/th><td>China<\/td><\/tr>\n      <\/tbody>\n    <\/table><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the border, the goods fall under Combined Nomenclature (CN) codes, the EU&#8217;s customs product codes, ex 5603 13 90, 5603 14 20 and ex 5603 14 80<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. The &quot;ex&quot; means that only part of the code is covered. The detailed EU tariff codes, called TARIC codes, are 5603 13 90 70 and 5603 14 80 70<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fabric made from short cut fibres, known as staple fibres, is outside the case<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. Only fabric made of continuous man-made filaments is covered<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. The duty applies only to goods that originate in China<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How high are the new PET spunbond duties?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final duties range from <strong>39.8% to 48.1%<\/strong> of the import value, depending on the producer<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. The Commission set them for <strong>five years<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. Temporary duties of 45.6% to 50% had applied since May 2026<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"hsn-fig hsn-fig--solid hsn-fig--v4\" data-at=\"how-high-are-the-new-pet-spunbond-duties\">\n    <div class=\"hsn-fig__cols\">\n    <h4>PET spunbond duty rates, % of import value<\/h4>\n    <div class=\"hsn-fig__col\" data-series=\"1\">\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__num\">50%<\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__coltrack\"><span class=\"hsn-fig__colfill\" data-v=\"100\"><\/span><\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__lab\">Temporary, highest<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"hsn-fig__col\" data-series=\"2\">\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__num\">48.1%<\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__coltrack\"><span class=\"hsn-fig__colfill\" data-v=\"95\"><\/span><\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__lab\">Final, highest<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"hsn-fig__col\" data-series=\"3\">\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__num\">45.6%<\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__coltrack\"><span class=\"hsn-fig__colfill\" data-v=\"90\"><\/span><\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__lab\">Temporary, lowest<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"hsn-fig__col\" data-series=\"4\">\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__num\">39.8%<\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__coltrack\"><span class=\"hsn-fig__colfill\" data-v=\"80\"><\/span><\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__lab\">Final, lowest<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final rates are therefore lower than the temporary ones at both ends of the range. The top rate falls from 50% to 48.1%, and the lowest from 45.6% to 39.8%<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final regulation explains part of the change. After the Commission shared its final findings, comments from some parties led it to revise the dumping margins and the final duty levels<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. A dumping margin is the gap between the export price and the product&#8217;s normal price. The Commission then sent all parties an extra notice of these changes and invited comments<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why did the European Commission act on PET spunbond?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The investigation found that PET spunbond from China was entering the EU at <strong>dumped prices<\/strong>, meaning prices below the product&#8217;s normal value<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. The Commission said this was harming the EU&#8217;s own producers, which are in Germany, Italy and France<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. It values the EU market for this product at <strong>\u20ac200m<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two companies filed the complaint on 8 August 2025: Freudenberg Performance Materials and Johns Manville<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The Commission describes them as the only known EU producers of PET spunbond<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China&#8217;s economy was judged to have <strong>significant distortions<\/strong> in this sector, meaning prices there are shaped by the state<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The Commission therefore did not use Chinese costs to set the normal price. It chose Thailand as the reference country for this calculation<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hubei Unibon Nonwovens, a Chinese exporter, argued that Thai prices for PET chips were not comparable<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. It said Indonesian import prices of RMB 7.3 per kg should be used instead of RMB 11.1 per kg for Thailand<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The Commission rejected this, because no evidence showed that the Thai chips were chemically different<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Chinese companies were investigated?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eight Chinese exporters came forward, and the Commission picked a sample of two, one of them made up of two companies<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. Officials checked the records of these Chinese producers on site<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Changde Tiandingfeng Nonwovens Co Ltd<\/strong>, Changde City, Hunan province;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tiandingfeng Nonwovens Co Ltd<\/strong>, Dezhou City, Shandong province;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hubei Unibon Nonwovens Co Ltd<\/strong>, Jingmen City, Hubei province.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final regulation refers to the two Tiandingfeng companies together as the TDF Group<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. Officials also visited three EU producers: Johns Manville GmbH in Germany, Politex SAS di Freudenberg Politex SRL in Italy and Freudenberg Performance Materials S.A.S in France<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Commission&#8217;s announcement gives only the range of rates<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. It does not list the rate for each company. Each exporter&#8217;s own rate is set in the final regulation.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What did EU roofing makers argue?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Users of the fabric pushed back. An Italian roofing membrane maker, Matco S.r.l, and SITEB, an Italian industry group, took part<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. Four other Italian membrane makers also commented: Valli Zabban, General Membrane, Casali Industria Chimica e Bituminosa and Vetroasfalto<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They said the Commission had not heard users properly and should have sent them a special questionnaire<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The Commission replied that users had to come forward within the deadline in the opening notice<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. It said users did not send questionnaire replies, so it could not study jobs at risk in more detail<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Italian users also asked for different treatment of fabric built into membranes later sold outside the EU<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The Commission rejected this. It found that the fabric is the same product whether the final membrane is sold in the EU or exported<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the investigation, some suppliers to EU producers and the European nonwovens association, EDANA, supported the case<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. A Polish roofing membrane association also backed it. A German user raised concern about its security of supply from China<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What changes for importers and roofing makers?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Importers of the covered fabric from China must now pay the <strong>anti-dumping duty<\/strong>, an extra import tax on goods sold abroad below their normal price. Customs collects it on top of the normal import duty when the goods are released for sale in the EU.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Makers of roofing membranes that buy Chinese carrier fabric will likely face higher input costs. The EU producers named in the case gain protection from cheaper Chinese supply for five years<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chinese exporters face a rate that depends on their company. Fabric that falls outside the product definition, such as fabric with 30% or more glass fibre or coated sheets, is not covered by this duty<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How did the PET spunbond case unfold?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The case moved from complaint to final duty in about 14 months. These are the main steps in the documents:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>8 August 2025<\/strong>: Freudenberg Performance Materials and Johns Manville filed the complaint<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>15 September 2025<\/strong>: the Commission opened the investigation<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.
