Graphite electrodes are the essential consumables in EAF steelmaking. Due to their outstanding electrical conductivity and excellent high-temperature resistance, they play a critical role in ensuring efficient and stable furnace operation, thereby improving steel production capacity and product quality.

【Graphite Electrodes】The Eurasian Economic Union to Impose Quota Restrictions on Chinese Electrodes

欧亚经济联盟将对中国石墨电极实施配额限制

EAEU to introduce quotas for Chinese graphite electrodes

欧亚政府间理事会（EIC）已指示欧亚经济委员会（EEC）理事会通过一项决议，对自中国进口的石墨电极实施反倾销措施。Kallanish（开阑商务信息咨询）获悉，该决议设定了年度配额额度，在此额度范围内不征收反倾销税。

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.

指定进口配额为：亚美尼亚700吨，白俄罗斯1,000吨，哈萨克斯坦1,000吨。配额内进口货物在确认其预期用途后，可免征反倾销税。

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.

委员会表示，根据相关指示，该问题必须在2025年12月17日前由欧亚经济委员会审议。

According to the instruction, the issue must be considered by the EEC board by 17 December 2025, the Commission says.

欧亚经济委员会此前建议欧亚经济联盟（EAEU）的石墨电极消费者和制造商重建供应链并重新签订供应合同。制造商签订长期供应合同的义务已作为附件纳入本项反倾 销税决议。

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.

欧亚政府间理事会是欧亚经济联盟的执行机构，由成员国政府首脑——亚美尼亚、白俄罗斯、哈萨克斯坦、吉尔吉斯斯坦、俄罗斯——组成，负责监督联盟条约的执行。

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.
