Recently, the European Commission published the final ruling on the imposition of duties on aerial work platforms made in China and imported into the EU (AD698). According to the assessment, the tariff details of the products involved in the case are as follows: 

Hunan Xingbang Intelligent Equipment Co., LTD. : 49.3% tariff
Jieerjie (Tianjin) Equipment Co., LTD. : 22.5% tariff 

Terex (Changzhou) Machinery Co., LTD. : 22.9% tariff 

Zhejiang Dingli Machinery Co., LTD. : 23.69% tariff 

Other cooperative companies: 30.2% tariff 

Other companies: 49.3% tariff

The Commission said that despite limited evidence of dumping, the rapid growth of equipment sales in China was significant. The analysis also compares manufacturing costs in China to those of Brazilian company Madal Palfinger, although the latter only produces certain types of truck mounting platforms, and the production environment in Brazil is different from that in China. China's proposal to use Malaysia as a benchmark was rejected. 

The European Commission decided not to impose retrospective tariffs because it found no evidence that Chinese manufacturers had accumulated inventories in Europe. But the investigation into possible government subsidies to certain Chinese manufacturers is still ongoing, and the exact date for the imposition of tariffs has not yet been set, as the final decision may rest with the EuropeanParliament and its potential negotiations on other trade issues.
