Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2461 of 17 September 2024 amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1618 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of tungsten carbide, fused tungsten carbide and tungsten carbide simply mixed with metallic powder originating in the People’s Republic of China, and subjecting imports of non-agglomerated tungsten carbides mixed together or with metallic binders originating in the People’s Republic of China to surveillance

‘1 A definitive anti-dumping duty is imposed on imports of tungsten carbide, fused tungsten carbide and tungsten carbide simply mixed with metallic powder, currently falling under CN codes 28499030 and ex38243000 (TARIC code 3824300010) and originating in the People’s Republic of China.’

‘4 The TARIC structure for non-agglomerated tungsten carbides mixed together or with metallic binders is replaced by the following: - - Tungsten carbides 3824300010 - - - In the form of irregular and non-free-flowing particles, simply mixed with metallic powder 3824300020 - - - Ready-to-press powder, in the form of spherical or granular shaped, homogeneous and free-flowing particles, simply mixed with metallic powder and/or other carbides, and an organic binder 3824300030 - - - Other, in the form of spherical or granular shaped, homogeneous and free-flowing particles, simply mixed with metallic powder and/or other carbides 3824300040 - - - Other, simply mixed with metallic powder and/or other carbides 3824300090 - - Other

5 The flowability, or lack thereof, of non-agglomerated tungsten carbides mixed together or with metallic binders, currently classified under 3824300010, 3824300020 and 3824300030, can be measured and established by using a calibrated funnel e.g. a HALL flow meter according to ISO standard 4490.’

1 Imports under the TARIC codes mentioned in Article 1, except 3824300090, or any corresponding future codes, originating in the People’s Republic of China shall be subject to surveillance to allow the Commission to follow the statistical trends of imports of non-agglomerated tungsten carbides mixed together or with metallic binders, in accordance with Article 56(5) of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013.

2 Surveillance measures introduced by paragraph 1 shall cease when the anti-dumping duty on imports of tungsten carbide, fused tungsten carbide and tungsten carbide simply mixed with metallic powder originating in the People’s Republic of China is terminated or lapse.

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
