According to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/2022, published in the Official Journal of the European Union, the registration applies to products consisting of grids, mesh, nets and fencing made from plain wires welded at the intersection points.
The products covered include those that are uncoated, coated with zinc or other materials, galvanized or non-galvanized, and whether or not presented in rolls. They are classified under CN codes 7314 20 90, 7314 31 00 and 7314 39 00.
Registration to remain in place for nine months
Under the regulation, the customs authorities of EU member states have been instructed to register imports of the products concerned originating in Türkiye and China. The registration will expire nine months after the date on which the regulation enters into force.
The registration decision does not currently mean that definitive anti-dumping duties have been imposed. If the investigation concludes that the necessary conditions are met, definitive duties may be applied retroactively to imports registered during this period.
Estimated dumping margin for Türkiye at 44-51%
In the complaint that formed the basis for the initiation of the investigation, the dumping margin for the period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025 was estimated at 26-73% for China and 44-51% for Türkiye.
The complaint also estimated the injury elimination level at 18% for China and 41% for Türkiye. These figures are estimates included in the complaint and do not represent the potential final duty rates to be determined at the end of the investigation.
Investigation launched in June
The EU launched an anti-dumping investigation into steel mesh imports from Türkiye and China on June 3, 2026. The investigation was initiated following a complaint filed on April 20, 2026, by the European Association of Welded Steel Mesh Producers, which represents more than 25% of total steel mesh production in the EU.
