As reported by the ICCT on Tuesday, it made the corresponding decision on November 3 of this year, recognizing that the complaint contained sufficient substantiated evidence and was filed and supported by enterprises whose share in the total production volume of certain types of pesticides in Ukraine exceeds 50%.

"The complaint contains sufficient substantiated evidence on the basis of which it can be considered that imports into Ukraine of certain types of pesticides originating from the People's Republic of China could have been carried out at dumping prices, while the level of the dumping margin cannot be considered minimal, and import volumes cannot be considered insignificant in accordance with the norms of the law," the announcement states.

The ICCT also agreed with the existence of substantiated evidence that dumping imports into Ukraine of certain types of pesticides from China threaten to cause significant harm to the national producer. In particular, according to the complaint materials, during the investigation period (2022 – first half of 2025), a trend of declining sales volumes of the applicant on the domestic market and market share was observed, while simultaneously consumption of certain types of pesticides in Ukraine grew.

It is noted that the volumes of dumping imports into Ukraine of certain types of pesticides from China increased in absolute terms by 44.9%, relative to production and consumption of certain types of pesticides in Ukraine – by 30.4% and 21.0%, respectively.

In addition, the average import prices into Ukraine of the specified goods were lower than the average prices and cost of production of certain types of pesticides of the applicant.

The ICCT clarified that this concerns "herbicide based on: terbuthylazine ..., classified under code ex 3808 93 13 00 according to the UKTZED; propisochlor ... under code ex 3808 93 15 90..., nicosulfuron ... under code ex 3808 93 23 00; diquat ... under code ex 3808 93 27 90 according to the UKTZED."

The investigation also covers imports from China of a single-component fungicide based on the active substance tebuconazole under code ex 3808 92 50 90 according to the UKTZED.
