EU-China trade: Beijing imposes 42.7% provisional duty on dairy imports from European Union; cites harm to domestic industry

China has imposed provisional anti-subsidy duties on EU dairy imports, ranging from 21.9% to 42.7%, effective December 23. This action follows an investigation concluding that EU dairy subsidies harmed China’s domestic sector. The move escalates existing trade tensions between China and the EU, which began with an EU probe into Chinese electric vehicles.
