The European Commission finalized its anti-dumping (AD) measures against fused alumina imports from China on January 16, 2026. This decision follows a detailed investigation initiated in October 2024, which confirmed that underpriced Chinese imports caused material injury to European producers.

Effective immediately, Chinese exporters face definitive AD duties ranging from 88.7% to 110.6%.

The EU imposed provisional AD duties on the subject goods from China on July 17, 2025.

The product involved is artificial corundum, whether or not chemically defined, also known as fused alumina, classified under CN code 2818 10 11, 2818 10 19, ex 2818 10 91, and 2818 10 99 (TARIC codes 2818 10 91 20, 2818 10 91 40, 2818 10 91 91, 2818 10 91 99).
