Recently, the European Commission has issued several new policies on the import of goods in order to strengthen the protection of the EU market.
EU or impose retroactive tariffs on Chinese trams
According to Reuters, on Tuesday (5th) local time, the European Commission issued an emergency notice stating that it plans to start customs registration of pure electric vehicles (BEVs) imported from China.
According to the report, this is part of the EU's "countervailing investigation" against Chinese electric vehicles. If the final investigation finds that Chinese trams have received so-called "unfair subsidies", the EU may impose "retroactive duties" on these registered imported vehicles ".
The document issued by the European Commission claims that since the EU launched an investigation into Chinese trams in October last year to January this year, China's imports of electric vehicles have increased by more than 10% year-on-year, which "may" cause "losses" to EU manufacturers. Customs registration will be used to trace back and take measures against relevant Chinese trams in the future.
According to a notice issued on the official website of the European Commission on Tuesday, the registration mainly involves new battery electric vehicles from China with 9 seats or less and driven only by one or more electric motors. Motorcycle products are not under investigation.
The notice also claims that the EU has "sufficient" evidence that Chinese electric vehicles are receiving subsidies. However, the document only mentions that EU imports of Chinese electric vehicles have "significantly increased" since the investigation was launched in October last year ".
According to European Commission data, between October 2023 and January 2024, the EU imported a total of 177839 Chinese electric vehicles.
Compared with the coverage of the "countervailing investigation" period (October 2022 to September 2023), the average monthly import volume increased by 11%; Compared with the same period from October 2022 to January 2023, the average monthly import volume increased by 14%.
The notice stated that the European Commission believes that if imports from China continue to grow at this rate before the end of the investigation, EU producers may suffer "irreparable losses". Therefore, it is "necessary" to implement customs registration measures for imported electric vehicles in China to prepare for possible retroactive measures.
