The Eurasian Intergovernmental Council (EIC) has instructed the board of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) to adopt a decision on the application of anti-dumping measures against graphite electrodes imported from China. This establishes an annual quota volume within which anti-dumping duties are not levied, Kallanish notes.
The specified volumes will be 700 tonnes for Armenia, 1,000t for Belarus, and 1,000t for Kazakhstan. Imports within the quota will be exempted from anti-dumping duties upon confirmation of their intended use.
According to the instruction, the issue must be considered by the EEC board by 17 December 2025, the Commission says.
EEC recommended previously that graphite electrode consumers and manufacturers in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) rebuild the supply chain and re-sign supply contracts. The obligation for manufacturers to sign a long-term supply contract is included as an attachment in this anti-dumping duty resolution.
EIC is a body of EAEU, consisting of the heads of government of the member countries – Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia – which oversees the implementation of the Union's treaties.
