On August 11, 2026, the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) officially initiated a changed-circumstances review investigation into titanium dioxide (TiO₂) originating in China, simultaneously suspending the collection of existing anti-dumping duties for the duration of the investigation .
Why the sudden change? The sole TiO₂ producer within the EAEU – “Titanium Investments” in Crimea – has temporarily halted production due to technical issues . With no domestic supply to protect, the rationale for maintaining these duties has temporarily vanished.
Quick background: Anti-dumping duties of 14.27%–16.25% were originally imposed in October 2025 and set to last until November 2030 . China supplies roughly half of Russia’s annual TiO₂ consumption (around 120,000 tons), making this policy shift a major development for both sides .
What does this mean for you? If you’re in the coatings, plastics, or masterbatch industries, this is the perfect time to explore Chinese TiO₂ suppliers – duty-free entry, competitive pricing, and stable quality. The suspension is temporary, so acting now could give you a strategic cost advantage.
I’m closely tracking this case and its implications for the pigment market. If you’re considering switching or testing Chinese TiO₂ grades, I’d be happy to share more insights and suitable product recommendations.
