Core Viewpoint - The European Union's final ruling on anti-dumping duties against Chinese glyoxylic acid products, particularly affecting Guolin Technology's subsidiary, has resulted in a significant reduction of the duty from 175.8% to 57.3%, although this still poses challenges for the company's international market expansion [1][2]. Group 1: Anti-Dumping Investigation - The anti-dumping investigation was initiated by WeylChem Lamotte SAS on June 10, 2024, with the EU Commission officially launching the investigation on July 25, 2024, covering the period from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024 [2]. - The initial ruling on March 24, 2025, shocked the market with a temporary anti-dumping tax of 175.8%, which effectively barred Guolin Technology's products from the EU market [2]. - The final ruling, which reduced the tax by 118.5 percentage points, is seen as a result of the company's active legal defense [2]. Group 2: Financial Impact and Market Strategy - Guolin Technology reported that the revenue from glyoxylic acid exports to the EU accounted for only 3.50% and 1.27% of the company's total revenue in 2024 and the first half of 2025, respectively, leading to the belief that the new tax will not significantly impact future operations [3]. - Despite the lower revenue share, the company acknowledged that the anti-dumping tax has affected some customers in the EU, with some ceasing imports due to the high tariffs, while others continue to cooperate despite the costs [3]. - The company plans to enhance product research and development and expand sales in markets outside the EU to mitigate the impact of the anti-dumping duties [3][4].
