GCC imposes anti-dumping duties on Chinese electrical products
Duties will be effective June 8, 2025, for five years
Abu Dhabi, UAE – The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries have announced the imposition of final anti-dumping duties on imports of electrical connections, switches, and plugs originating from China. The duties will apply to products with a voltage not exceeding 1000 volts and are set to take effect from June 8, 2025, lasting for a period of five years.
The decision, which was made in response to a complaint filed by the Gulf industry, concerns imports classified under customs codes 853669, 853650, 85444221, and 85444291. These actions are in line with the GCC's Unified Law for Anti-Dumping, Countervailing, and Safeguard Measures, as outlined in Royal Decree No. (2015/20).
The details of the decision were published in the Official Gazette of the Technical Secretariat for Combating Harmful Practices, No. (47), and are available on the General Secretariat of the GCC's official website.
This move aims to protect local industries within the GCC from unfair trade practices and maintain a level playing field in the market.
