According to an announcement on January 12, 2023, the European Commission decided to impose a provisional anti-dumping (AD) duty on imports of stainless steel refillable kegs originating in China. The provisional AD duty was in a range from 52.9% to 91.0%, depending on the company.

The products involved are stainless steel refillable kegs, with bodies approximately cylindrical in shape, with a wall thickness of 0.5 mm or more, of a capacity of 4.5 liters or more, regardless of the type of finish, gauge, or stainless steel grade, whether or not with additional components (extractors, necks, chimes or any other component), whether or not painted or coated with other materials, used for materials excluding liquefied gas, crude oil, and petroleum products, classified under CN codes ex 7310 10 00 and ex 7310 29 90 (TARIC codes 7310 10 00 10 and 7310 29 90 10).

This regulation comes into force from the day after the announcement and will be valid for six months.
