European Union anti-dumping duty on Chinese molybdenum wire ends on July 27, 2027, unless EU producers request a review.<\/p>\n

The European Commission said on Oct. 30, 2026, that its anti-dumping duty on Chinese molybdenum wire will end on July 27, 2027.<\/p>\n

The duty ends on that date unless European producers ask for a review and the Commission opens one1<\/a><\/sup>. The notice is Commission Notice C\/2026\/5566, published in the Official Journal of the European Union1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n

In short, nothing changes yet for a shipment of Chinese molybdenum wire. The duty still applies today. It could disappear in July 2027, or it could stay while the Commission runs a new review.<\/p>\n

What does the molybdenum wire notice say?<\/h2>\n

The notice is a "notice of impending expiry". It is a formal warning that a trade measure is about to reach the end of its life1<\/a><\/sup>. The Commission publishes such a notice under Article 11(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016\/1036, the European Union (EU) law on dumped imports1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Dumping means selling goods abroad below their normal price. An anti-dumping duty<\/strong> is an extra import tax that the EU charges on such goods. It protects producers inside the EU.<\/p>\n

The notice lists one product: certain molybdenum wire<\/strong> from the People’s Republic of China1<\/a><\/sup>. The measure in force is an anti-dumping duty1<\/a><\/sup>. The listed expiry date is July 27, 2027<\/strong>1<\/a><\/sup>. The measure ends at midnight (00:00) at the start of that day1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Which regulation sets the duty now?<\/h2>\n

The duty now in force comes from Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022\/1305 of July 25, 20221<\/a><\/sup>. That regulation imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on molybdenum wire from China after an earlier expiry review2<\/a><\/sup>. It appeared in the Official Journal on July 26, 20222<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n

The duty’s life so far<\/h4>\n
\n 2010<\/span>\n Duty first imposed<\/span>\n 64.3% of value<\/span>\n <\/div>\n
\n 25 Jul 2022<\/span>\n Duty renewed after review<\/span>\n <\/div>\n
\n 30 Oct 2026<\/span>\n Expiry notice published<\/span>\n <\/div>\n
\n 27 Jul 2027<\/span>\n Duty ends unless reviewed<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

This is not the first time the EU has kept the duty. The duty was first imposed in 2010 by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 511\/20102<\/a><\/sup>. That original duty was a rate of 64.3% of the goods’ value<\/strong>2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n

The Commission then renewed the measures in 2016 through Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016\/10462<\/a><\/sup>. It renewed them again in 20222<\/a><\/sup>. The notice of Oct. 30, 2026, therefore concerns a duty that has been in place in some form for about 16 years.<\/p>\n

Which goods does the duty cover?<\/h2>\n

The 2022 regulation describes the product closely2<\/a><\/sup>. It covers molybdenum wire that contains at least 99.95% molybdenum<\/strong> by weight2<\/a><\/sup>. The thickest point of the wire, its maximum cross-section, must be more than 1.35 mm and no more than 4.0 mm2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n

These goods fall under Combined Nomenclature (CN) code ex 8102 96 002<\/a><\/sup>. The CN is the EU’s list of customs codes for goods. Wire from China that is not shipped through Malaysia falls under TARIC code 8102960019<\/strong>2<\/a><\/sup>. TARIC is the EU’s detailed customs tariff.<\/p>\n

Molybdenum wire is mainly used by car makers2<\/a><\/sup>. One example is the synchronising rings in cars with manual gearboxes2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Why does Malaysia appear in the case?<\/h2>\n

The EU has widened the duty three times to stop it being avoided2<\/a><\/sup>. Avoiding a duty in this way is called circumvention. It can mean shipping goods through another country or changing them slightly.<\/p>\n
