On 12 March 2026, the EU opened an anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of copper tubes originating in the People’s Republic of China, Mexico, Vietnam and Uzbekistan, which could lead to substantial anti-dumping duties on future imports.

The product under investigation

The product subject to this investigation is pipes and tubes, of refined copper, in level wound coils, whether smooth or with inner grooves, not further processed.

The product under investigation is currently classified under CN code ex 7411 10 90 (TARIC code 7411 10 90 10).

Quick action is required

Affected parties, including importers and EU users wishing to comment and defend their interests, can participate in the investigation. Deadlines for participation can be as short as 7 days, so quick action is required if parties intend to participate.
