China lowers anti-subsidy tariffs on European dairy imports
China announced on Thursday that it will reduce anti-subsidy tariffs on certain dairy products imported from the European Union (EU), easing the measures initially imposed in December 2025 in response to European taxes on Chinese electric vehicles.
According to the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, the new tariffs will be lower than originally planned, reaching up to 11.7%, and will be applied from Friday for a period of five years. The move follows an investigation that concluded that “some EU dairy products” benefited from subsidies that caused “actual harm to China’s dairy industry.”
Previously, provisional tariffs ranging from 21.9% to 42.7% had been in effect since December 2025. The adjustment reflects China’s effort to balance trade measures while maintaining protection for domestic producers.
Trade analysts note that this reduction could ease tensions between China and the EU and may support continued imports of European dairy products into the Chinese market. Authorities emphasized that the tariffs remain in place to address unfair subsidies, but at a more moderate level.
