            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2025/1984
of 3 October 2025
         
making imports of yarns of polyamide originating in the People’s Republic of China subject to registration


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,


Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Union (1) (‘the basic Regulation’) and in particular Article 14(5) thereof,


After informing the Member States,

Whereas:







(1)


On 29 July 2025, the European Commission (‘the Commission’) announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union (2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding with regard to imports into the Union of yarns of polyamide originating in the People’s Republic of China.












(2)


This initiation followed a complaint lodged on 16 June 2025 by the Ad Hoc Coalition of European Producers of Yarns of Polyamide on behalf of producers representing more than 25 % of the total Union production of yarns of polyamide.





1.   PRODUCT SUBJECT TO REGISTRATION







(3)


The product subject to registration (‘the product concerned’) is synthetic continuous filament yarns of aliphatic polyamides, not put up for retail sale, including synthetic monofilament of less than 67 decitex. The product subject to registration includes all variants of yarns of nylon or other aliphatic polyamides, whether textured measuring not more than 50 tex per single yarn or not textured, single, double, multiple (folded) or cabled, (or variants thereof), twisted or untwisted, currently classified under CN codes 5402 31 00 , 5402 45 00 , 5402 51 00  and 5402 61 00  and originating in the People’s Republic of China.










(4)


High tenacity yarn of polyamide falling under CN code 5402 19 00  is excluded.




2.   REGISTRATION







(5)


Under Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product concerned may be made subject to registration for the purpose of ensuring that, if the investigation results in findings leading to the imposition of anti-dumping duties, those duties can, if the necessary conditions are fulfilled, be levied retroactively on the registered imports in accordance with the applicable legal provisions.










(6)


The Commission has decided to make imports of the product concerned subject to registration on its own initative under Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation. The conditions for retroactive collection of duties will be assessed in the regulation imposing definitive duties, if any.










(7)


Any future liability would emanate from the findings of the anti-dumping investigation.










(8)


The calculations provided in the complaint requesting the initiation of an anti-dumping investigation estimate dumping margins between 49 % and 131 % and an injury elimination level between 92 % and 98 % for the product concerned for the year 2024. The amount of possible future liability would normally be set at the lower of those two levels according to Article 7(2) of the basic Regulation.










(9)


If, during the investigation, the Commission finds evidence of raw material distortions pursuant to Article 7(2a) of the basic Regulation, the amount of possible future liability would be set at the level of the dumping margin as provided for in Article 7(2b) of the basic Regulation if it is concluded that a duty lower than the margin of dumping would not be sufficient to remove the injury suffered by the Union industry.










(10)


However, at this stage the Commission is not in a position to estimate the amount of possible future liability. Thus, the amounts mentioned in the complaint are only for information purposes and cannot create any expectations as to the actual level of liability which will be established as a result of the investigation.




3.   PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA







(11)


Any personal data collected in the context of this registration will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data by the Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies and on the free movement of such data,
