2024年4月2日，欧盟委员会发布公告，于3月27日对原产于中国的聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯（Polyethylene Terephthalate/PET）作出反倾销终裁，裁定对涉案产品征收6.6%～24.2%的反倾销税。涉案产品的欧盟CN（Combined Nomenclature）编码为3907 61 00（TARIC编码为3907 61 00 10）。

The European Commission has imposed definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of certain polyethylene terephthalate (‘PET’) from China, defending EU companies and more than 1,500 jobs. The EU market of PET has a value of over €5.5 billion.

欧盟委员会已明确对从中国进口的部分聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯（PET）征收反倾销税，以保护欧盟企业和超过1500个工作岗位。欧盟PET市场的市值超过55亿欧元。

The Commission confirmed the provisional duties that were imposed on 27 November 2023, ranging from 6.6% to 24.2% depending on the exporting producer. These duties will be in place for a period of five years.

欧盟确认于2023年11月27日征收临时性关税，税率依出口商而异，区间为6.6%-24.2%。该关税有效期为五年。

The duties come as the result of an EU investigation which found that dumping of Chinese imports presented a threat of a clearly foreseeable and imminent injury to EU industry. It showed that the influx of dumped Chinese imports at artificially low prices was undercutting EU industry’s prices, forcing the EU industry to reduce its prices to such a low level that they were selling their products at a loss.

欧盟依据调查结果，发现从中国进口产品的倾销对欧盟塑料行业构成了显而易见且急迫的威胁。调查显示，中国出口的产品正在以人为压低的价格涌入欧洲，迫使欧洲将价格下调至同等水平，导致欧洲塑料行业亏本销售。

The product concerned as defined by the Commission covered both imports of vPET and rPET from the PRC, which compete with vPET and rPET produced by the Union industry. The fact that two product types might have different pricing does not justify an exclusion from the scope of an investigation. The Commission found that both types have the same physical, technical and chemical characteristics, that they compete with one another and that there is a degree of interchangeability between vPET and rPET (see, for example, recitals (254) and (293) of the provisional Regulation). These findings are not called into question by a difference in pricing. Therefore, it would be inappropriate and ineffective to exclude rPET from the scope of the investigation. In addition, the allegation that there were no imports of rPET is incorrect. Even if during the investigation period imports of rPET from the PRC were limited, they were present. In any event, as noted above, the Commission concluded that both product types were in competition. Thus, dumped imports of PET from the PRC, irrespective of being rPET or vPET, were found to lead to a threat of injury to the Union PET producers.

委员会定义的相关产品涵盖了从中华人民共和国进口的vPET和rPET，这与欧盟行业生产的vET和rPET竞争。两种产品类型可能有不同的定价，这一事实并不能证明将其排除在调查范围之外是合理的。委员会发现，这两种类型具有相同的物理、技术和化学特性，它们相互竞争，vPET和rPET之间存在一定程度的互换性（例如，见临时法规的序言（254）和（293））。这些发现并没有因为定价的差异而受到质疑。因此，将rPET排除在调查范围之外是不恰当和无效的。此外，关于没有进口rPET的指控是不正确的。即使在调查期间，从中华人民共和国进口的rPET是有限的，它们仍然存在。无论如何，如上所述，委员会得出的结论是，这两种产品类型都存在竞争。因此，发现从中华人民共和国倾销进口的PET，无论是rPET还是vPET，都会对联邦PET生产商造成损害威胁。
