PROVISIONAL ANTI-DUMPING DUTY ON IMPORTS OF BIRCH PLYWOOD ORIGINATING IN RUSSIA / EU REGULATION 2021/940
This concerns <6 mm birch plywood, applied in the sub sector Industrial Packaging, used by companies in especially Germany and Italy and bought in Russia. The complaint is raised by EU manufacturers of this type of birch plywood. FEFPEB, in support of AssoImballagi, did object to any anti dumping measure but a temporary import duty of appr. 15% will be enforced. See the accompanying EU Regulation 2021/940.
The impact of these developments will be on the agenda of the next meeting of the FEFPEB executive committee on 6 July 2021. Any input or reflections from your part are most welcome, info@fefpeb.eu.
