EU anti-dumping duty on glass fibre fabrics from China, Egypt, Morocco, Türkiye
The EU has imposed definitive anti-dumping duties on woven and/or stitched glass fibre fabrics originating in China and Egypt following an expiry review. The duty also applies to imports consigned from Morocco and Türkiye, whether or not declared as originating there, and to imports destined for offshore installations. This measure is effective under Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1203, published 8 June 2026.

The European Commission has imposed definitive anti-dumping duties on certain woven and/or stitched glass fibre fabrics following an expiry review under Article 11(2) of the EU's anti-dumping regulation. The measure, published as Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1203 on 8 June 2026, targets products from multiple origins including China, Egypt, Morocco, and Türkiye.
Scope and Coverage
The regulation covers:
- Woven and/or stitched glass fibre fabrics originating in the People's Republic of China and the Arab Republic of Egypt
- Imports brought to offshore installations
- Imports consigned from the Kingdom of Morocco, regardless of whether they are declared as originating in Morocco
- Imports consigned from Türkiye, regardless of whether they are declared as originating in Türkiye
This broad scope is designed to prevent circumvention through transshipment or re-routing through third countries. The inclusion of offshore-installation imports suggests the duties apply to supplies destined for oil and gas platforms and similar maritime infrastructure.
Legal Basis
The duties are imposed pursuant to Article 11(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 (the principal EU anti-dumping regulation), which governs expiry reviews of existing measures. Expiry reviews occur when an original anti-dumping duty is set to expire and the Commission investigates whether dumping would resume if the duty were lifted.
What this means for shippers
Importers of glass fibre fabrics (HS Chapter 70, specifically woven and stitched types) moving into the EU must immediately verify whether their supply chain involves any of the four covered origins—China, Egypt, Morocco, or Türkiye—or transshipment through them. Even if declared as EU or third-country origin, goods consigned from Morocco or Türkiye trigger the duty. Revise landed-cost estimates, supplier contracts, and duty-drawback procedures immediately; failure to account for the new duty rate will result in unexpected cash calls and possible customs penalties. Check your supplier's actual country of manufacture and declared origin against the regulation's scope to confirm exposure. Use the tariff and anti-dumping lookup tool now to confirm duty rates and any origin-relief strategies available to your supply chain.
