The European Commission has published Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1330, establishing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of lysine originating in the People's Republic of China. This decision follows a thorough investigation which confirmed the existence of dumping practices and significant injury to the Union industry. The procedure was initiated in April 2024 following a complaint lodged by the French company Metex Noovistago (now operating as Eurolysine, part of the Avril Group).
As a result, definitive duties have been imposed: 47.7% for the Meihua Group, 58.2% for Eppen, and 53.1% for other cooperating companies. These measures aim to restore fair competition, protect EU production, and prevent further market distortions.
The European industry, represented by Eurolysine (Avril Group), had warned of the risk of closure in the absence of intervention. It also claimed that Chinese dumping practices were hindering key investments and creating unsustainable price pressure. Despite concerns raised by importers and livestock feed industry associations regarding potential cost increases, the Commission estimates that the impact on the final feed price will be below 1%, and that supply security will not be compromised.
The measures will take effect on 12 July 2025 and will apply to all forms of lysine, including lysine HCl, lysine sulphate, and liquid lysine, as classified under various TARIC codes.
