Update: The EEC has suspended the anti-dumping duty on titanium dioxide from China until August 10, 2027. Read more in the new article.
What TiO₂ Buyers Need to Know from November 2025
In October 2025, the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission adopted a decision to introduce anti-dumping measure AD-38 on titanium dioxide originating in China. The measure entered into force in November 2025 and was introduced for a period of five years.
The anti-dumping duty applied to pigment-grade titanium dioxide originating in China, containing 80% or more TiO₂ and classified under EAEU CN FEA code 3206 11 000 0.
What This Means for Titanium Dioxide Buyers
Under the original measure, this titanium dioxide was subject to two duty components:
- a basic import duty of 5%;
- an anti-dumping duty under measure AD-38.
For most Chinese manufacturers, the anti-dumping duty was 16.25% of the customs value. Therefore, for Chinese titanium dioxide grades supplied by Revada Plastic, the total tariff burden consisted of:
- a basic duty of 5%;
- an additional anti-dumping duty of 16.25%.
The actual impact on the final price depends on the specific contract and logistics terms. However, the anti-dumping measure must be taken into account when planning TiO₂ purchases over a period of several years.
Revada Plastic’s Approach
Revada Plastic adjusted its titanium dioxide procurement strategy in advance to account for the introduction of the anti-dumping duty and:
- negotiates export price adjustments with Chinese suppliers;
- works to offset part of the additional duty burden through pricing arrangements;
- assesses the economics of different supply scenarios for various titanium dioxide application segments.
Our objective is to minimize the impact of anti-dumping measures on our customers and ensure predictable titanium dioxide pricing over the long term while maintaining transparency and full compliance with EAEU customs and trade legislation.
If you require a total TiO₂ cost estimate based on your specific terms or would like to discuss possible supply scenarios, Revada Plastic specialists are ready to prepare a calculation and propose suitable options.
