[Abstract]:On October 23, 2025, the European Commission issued a final affirmative anti-dumping ruling against Chinese headless screws, imposing anti-dumping duties ranging from 54.7% to 72.3%, with the measures effective as of March 19, 2025.
EU Final Verdict on Chinese Headless Screws
On October 23, 2025, the European Commission officially issued a final affirmative anti-dumping ruling on headless screws originating from China, imposing punitive anti-dumping duties ranging from 54.7% to 72.3%. This conclusion closes the one-year trade friction case and brings severe challenges to Chinese headless screw exporters, drawing widespread attention across the domestic fastener industry.

I. Case Timeline: Key Nodes from Investigation to Final Verdict

The anti-dumping investigation was initiated by the European Commission on October 17, 2025, in response to petitions from EU domestic industries. The dumping investigation period covered July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024, while the industrial injury investigation retrospectively extended from January 1, 2021. A preliminary affirmative ruling was released on June 16, 2025, with tentative duty rates set between 62.3% and 80.7%.
Following subsequent corporate defense responses and supplementary investigations, the final duty rates were moderately lowered but remained at a high level. Notably, the official measures took effect retroactively from March 19, 2025. Exported goods shipped after the preliminary ruling are subject to supplementary duty payment, further increasing capital pressure on domestic manufacturers. The covered products correspond to EU CN codes 7318 15 42 and 7318 15 48, covering all types of Chinese-made headless screws.

II. Tiered Duty Rates: Diversified Impacts on Different Enterprises

The final judgment confirms obvious rate differentiation among respondents, fully reflecting the critical influence of adequate defense materials and standardized export records on case results. Zhejiang Junyue Standard Part Co., Ltd. obtained the lowest duty rate of 54.7%, granting it a comparative competitive advantage among all involved enterprises.
