Commission acts against unfairly traded imports of screws without heads
The definitive anti-dumping duties imposed range from 54.7% to 72.3%. The imposition of the duties follows an investigation that identified unfair trade practices.
Imposing these duties will help to re-establish fair competitive conditions on the EU market between screws without heads - or headless screws - imported from China and domestically produced products. The EU market for screws without heads is worth €500 million.
Screws without heads - namely threaded rods, anchor bolts and U-bolts - are used to mechanically join two or more elements. They are used in various consumer industries and in numerous final applications, including the automotive, renewable energy, electrical appliance, agriculture, and construction sectors.
The EU's industry for this product is located in Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Poland.
