10 Feb 2025 EPPO freezes assets: Chinese stainless steel declared as Korean Order
In 110 imports via a customs agency in Ferrara, two companies are alleged to have declared stainless steel coils from China as being of South Korean origin, thereby evading almost 2.4 million EUR in additional duty under the 2019 EU anti-dumping regulation; 60 further imports by one of the companies using the same method involve around 950,000 EUR. At the request of the Bologna office of the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO), assets totalling more than 3.3 million EUR were frozen; searches took place in Ferrara, Varese, Milan and La Spezia.
False origin declarations for steel subject to anti-dumping duties are prosecuted across borders by the EU prosecutor – with asset freezes already at the investigation stage.
