EU extends anti-dumping and countervailing duties on Chinese electric bicycles for another five years

The European Commission has published two Regulations extending anti-dumping and countervailing duties on cycles, with pedal assistance, with an auxiliary electric motor (e-bikes) falling under TARIC codes 8711 60 10 00 and 8711 60 90 10 originating in China. The extension of both measures, applicable from 25 January, was adopted as a result of the expiry review investigations carried out by the European Commission and covered by Regulation (EU) 2019/72 and Regulation (EU) 2019/73. Accordingly, the Commission has established that individual anti-dumping duties for each exporting company will be imposed.  

Individual anti-dumping and countervailing duty rates

• In the case of anti-dumping duties, pursuant to article 1.2 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/120, rates will range, in each case, from 9.9% to 70.1% applicable to non-cooperating companies in the original anti-dumping investigation, but cooperating in the parallel original anti-subsidy investigation.
  The rate applicable to all other imports is 62.1%.
  
  
• As set out in article 1.2 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/114, rates will range, in each case, from 3.9% to 17.2% applicable to non-cooperating companies in the original anti-subsidy investigation, but cooperating in the parallel original anti-dumping investigation.
  The rate applicable to all other imports is 17.2%. 

Document for the application of individual duty rates 

The application of the individual anti-dumping and countervailing duty rates specified for the companies is possible only upon presentation to the Member States’ customs authorities of a valid commercial invoice (code D008 in box 44 of the import declaration).  

The invoice must include a declaration dated and signed by an official of the entity issuing such invoice, identified by his/her name and function, drafted as follows: ‘I, the undersigned, certify that the (volume) of (product under review) sold for export to the European Union covered by this invoice was manufactured by (company name and address) (TARIC additional code) in [country concerned]. I declare that the information provided in this invoice is complete and correct.’  

If no such invoice is presented, the duties provided for ‘all other companies’ shall apply. 

These new measures, applicable as of 25 January 2025, attempt to level the EU playing field with Chinese e-bike producers. With its increasing support for sustainable and efficient mobility, the European Union has become the world's largest market for e-bikes.
