The duty follows the factory on the invoice.
Check a Chinese supplier's invoice line against EU anti-dumping duties in 30 seconds: the producer's rate, the amount without the invoice declaration and the “all other companies” amount.

Why importers overpay
An EU anti-dumping regulation does not set one rate. It sets a rate per listed producer and a higher one for everyone else, and the lower rate only counts if the invoice says the right thing.
Rate per producer. An EU anti-dumping regulation sets an individual rate for each listed Chinese producer (TARIC additional code) and a higher “all other companies” rate for everyone else.
Invoice declaration. The individual rate applies only if the commercial invoice carries the declaration prescribed in the regulation, signed by the producer. Without it customs applies the residual rate.
Stacking and registration. Anti-dumping and countervailing duties on the same goods add up, and imports under registration can be charged retroactively. We flag both.
For customs agencies: the check as an invoice line
Under indirect representation the customs agent or forwarder is itself a debtor of the customs debt (Art. 77(3) UCC). Post-clearance recovery is possible for three years from the date the debt was incurred (Art. 103 UCC). A documented check costs you €2.00 – and becomes the line “anti-dumping check” on your client’s invoice.
- Re-bill
Every check carries your client reference. The monthly export lists date, commodity code, producer, result and link – ready for your invoice to the client.
- Proof of due diligence
The check protocol carries a timestamp, data state and checksum. In a customs audit you show what you checked and when.
- Zero payment hassle
One key for the whole team, one invoice per month, paid by SEPA transfer. No cards, no credit.
