A significant set of anti-dumping duties on US-origin biofuels expired today, 12 September, removing the measures from 39 commodity lines. The action, which affects products across the mineral fuels, fats, and oils chapters, follows directly from the administrative adjustments to the measures' validity periods that were reported yesterday. Today's update contained no other policy changes.
The themes
Today's update was defined by a single, significant action: the scheduled conclusion of a major trade defence case. The ending of anti-dumping duties on US biofuels represents the final step in a process that began with administrative updates on 11 September, bringing a focused end to a long-standing set of protective measures. The entirety of the day's 156 recorded changes related to this single event.

- Action: Anti-dumping measures ended, effective 12 September 2026.

Coming into force
All 156 changes loaded in the tariff update took effect today, 12 September. These were comprised of the 78 measure endings for the US biofuel duties and 78 associated footnote removals. No future-dated measures were introduced.
What to watch
The expiry of these long-standing anti-dumping duties on US biofuels marks a material change in the import conditions for this segment of the energy market. Following several days of related administrative activity, the focus now turns to the market impact of this liberalisation.
