Trump's Impact? China Cuts Duties on EU Dairy Products After 18-Month Probe
- China's Commerce Ministry announced on Feb 12 the final ruling imposing duties from 7.4 percent to 11.7 percent on EU dairy imports for five years after an 18-month probe.
- Launched in August 2024, the probe followed EU electric vehicle tariffs amid Beijing-Brussels tensions, with Beijing framing duties as a response to alleged dumping to protect domestic producers facing overcapacity.
- Investigators examined unsweetened milk, cream and cheeses including Roquefort and Camembert, covering EU dairy shipments worth about $506.3 million; final duties cut from preliminary rates of 21.9 percent to 42.7 percent.
- Major EU exporters including France, Italy, Denmark and the Netherlands face the duties, while analyst Lian Yabing said lower rates avoid a full exit and China's agriculture ministry pledged to stabilise production.
- The move is the second reduction in two months on EU-targeted goods, reflecting Brussels' proposed minimum price commitments and analysts' views that New Zealand may benefit from China's market shift.
