Turkey – Interim Review Results on Anti-Dumping Measures for Woven Fabrics (Communiqué No: 2025/36)
Why this matters for foreign exporters / importers to Türkiye:
Interim review results can immediately change duty exposure, depending on whether a supplier is listed as exempt or removed from the exemption tables.
Exporter-specific exemptions make producer identification and certification commercially critical; missing or incorrect certificates can negate zero-duty benefits.
Suppliers removed from exemption lists face sudden cost increases, impacting pricing, margins, and ongoing supply contracts.
Importers must actively manage supplier portfolio risk, as duty outcomes now differ significantly between otherwise similar EU-origin products.
Errors in GTIP classification or producer declaration can trigger post-clearance duty assessments and penalties, despite interim review findings.
The decision concerning the completion of the interim review investigation on existing anti-dumping measures for certain woven fabrics was published in the Official Gazette dated 7 November 2025 and numbered 33070 through the Communiqué on the Prevention of Unfair Competition in Imports (No: 2025/36).
What has changed compared to the previous regulation
Communiqué No: 2024/29 initiated an interim review investigation regarding the anti-dumping measures applied under Communiqué No: 2024/8 on imports of woven fabrics classified under GTP 54.07 and GTP 55.13, 55.14, 55.15, 55.16, originating in various European Union member states.Communiqué No: 2025/36 concludes this interim review and sets out the final determinations. As a result of the investigation, certain firms established in Italy, the Netherlands, Austria and Portugal were found not to have circumvented the existing anti-dumping measures and were therefore granted exemptions with a zero duty rate, subject to the conditions specified in the tables annexed to the Communiqué. Conversely, Tessitura Uboldi Luigi S.r.l., established in Italy, was found to have rendered the measures ineffective and was removed from the exemption lists, making its exports subject to the applicable definitive anti-dumping duties.
Implications for companies and required actions
Importers of woven fabrics falling under the relevant GTP and GTIP classifications must carefully assess whether their suppliers are listed among the exempt producers in Table 1 and Table 2 of the Communiqué. Where an exemption applies, imports may benefit from a zero anti-dumping duty, provided that a valid Producer Exporter Certificate is submitted in accordance with Communiqué No: 2025/1.Imports sourced from Tessitura Uboldi Luigi S.r.l. are subject to definitive anti-dumping duties at the rates applicable to the “Others” category, depending on fabric weight and product group. Companies should therefore review supply chains, contractual pricing and customs declarations to ensure accurate producer identification and compliance with documentation requirements. As emphasized in the Communiqué, implementation is based on the product description and the GTIP in force under the Turkish Customs Tariff Schedule, and changes in tariff nomenclature do not prevent the application of the measures.
