AD760: Registration Is Ordered Now, and the Money Starts in April 2027
AD760 runs from 24 September 2026. The scope comment window closed on 4 October 2026, provisional duties can land from 24 April 2027, and the final deadline is 24 November 2027.
Vietnam Renewed Its Yarn Duty, and the Default Rate Is the Highest One
Vietnam sunset review kept duties of 3.36 to 17.45 per cent on Chinese polyester filament yarn for five more years. The rate is set per named producer, and the catch-all row for everyone unnamed sits at the top.
The EU Registered Your Cellulose Ether Imports, and the Duty Comes Later
The EU opened an anti-dumping case on Chinese cellulose ethers on 24 September 2026 and intends to register imports, which is how a later duty reaches backwards. No duty exists and none can before 24 April 2027. On one 20-foot container the exposure runs from nothing to a five-figure bill.
Two EU Charges Reach Steel and Only One Reaches Aluminium, and That Reverses the Ranking
The EU applies a carbon charge to both metals and a 50 per cent quota duty to steel alone. On Chinese goods that reverses which material looks expensive, and the crossing point is a single CIF value you can work out.
Two EU Charges Hit the Same Tonne, and Only One of Them Is Knowable Up Front
On the same tonne of Chinese steel the EU applies a carbon charge and a quota duty. One follows a published formula to the cent. The other is 50% of CIF, and at EUR 500 it is the larger of the two. Here is where they cross.
The Same Parcel Costs Three Times More in America Than in Europe
The US now taxes a low-value parcel by classification and the EU charges it by the item. Priced on the same EUR 300 consignment, the US comes to EUR 91-131 and the EU to EUR 20. Here is the arithmetic, and which parcel each regime punishes.
The EU Steel Quota Is Tightest Where China Has No Allocation at All
From 1 July 2026 the EU doubled the steel out-of-quota duty to 50% and cut duty-free volumes 47%. China holds named quotas in 4 of 26 categories and none in hot-rolled coil. Here is the per-tonne arithmetic.
China Taxes the Metal on the Way Out, Then Zeroes It Once the Metal Has a Shape
107 goods carry Chinese export duties in 2026 and 68 have provisional rates. For copper and aluminium the pattern is deliberate: raw material taxed at 30 percent, every wrought product zeroed.
What Chinese Steel Really Costs Under CBAM in 2026, per Tonne
The EU replaced its CBAM default-value tables retroactively on 31 July 2026, and the "CBAM factor" is read backwards by almost everyone. Here is what Chinese steel and aluminium actually cost per tonne in 2026, with every input printed.
The EU Now Charges by the Item, Not the Parcel — and Ten Euros Can Cost Fifteen
From 1 July 2026 the €150 duty relief is gone, replaced by €3 per item. From 1 November a €2 handling fee stacks on top, including above €150. Both are non-refundable, and both fall on the declarant.
The Polysilicon Tariff Never Says China — and Buying Cheaper Costs You More
Proclamation 11052 sets minimum import prices on polysilicon and its derivatives from 4 December 2026. The mechanism inverts the usual rule: a lower invoice raises your effective duty rate.
Section 301 Exclusions Expire November 9: The Duty Cliff, Dated and Priced
USTR's remaining 178 Section 301 exclusions end for goods entered on or after 10 November 2026. Here is the per-unit and per-container math, and the correction window still open on past entries.
