Commission acts against unfairly traded imports of sweetcorn from China
The definitive anti-dumping duties imposed range from 31% to 54.3%. Imposing these duties will help to re-establish fair competitive conditions on the EU market between sweetcorn imported from China and the domestically produced product. The imposition of the duties follows a 14-month investigation, which found that imports of sweetcorn from China are entering the EU at dumped prices. This is causing injury to the EU's sweetcorn industry, which employs some 3,500 people across France, Hungary, Italy, Poland and Spain.
Sweetcorn is a food product for human consumption, typically sold in cans, but also in glass jars, tetra packs or pouches. The EU market for sweetcorn is worth €642 million.
