EEC sets 2027 meat quotas, extends anti-dumping duties on Chinese goods
The Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission adopted a package of tariff decisions on August 25, 2026, covering 2027 import quotas for meat and whey, extended anti-dumping duties on two product categories from China, and a duty exemption for titanium-industry feedstock.
Meat and whey quotas for 2027
Quotas were allocated among EAEU member states based on production and consumption balances (source):
- beef — Russia 570,000 tonnes, Kazakhstan 21,000 tonnes, Armenia 8,000 tonnes, Kyrgyzstan 5,000 tonnes;
- pork — Belarus 20,000 tonnes, Armenia 14,000 tonnes, Kyrgyzstan 2,000 tonnes;
- poultry meat and offal — Kazakhstan 140,000 tonnes, Russia 364,000 tonnes, Kyrgyzstan 58,000 tonnes, Armenia 45,000 tonnes, Belarus 10,900 tonnes;
- whey — Russia 15,000 tonnes.
Volumes within the quota qualify for preferential rates, while any excess is taxed under standard rules — a key planning parameter for meat and dairy-input importers looking at 2027 supply contracts.
Anti-dumping duties on Chinese goods
The duty on leaf springs from China was extended following a repeat investigation launched on November 18, 2025 at the request of Chusovoy Metallurgical Plant, supported by Beloretsk Springs and Leaf Springs Plant and NPF Ressora. The measure was prolonged for five years, through August 24, 2031, keeping the rate at 14.11% of customs value; the original duty was introduced by EEC Board Decision No. 17 of February 16, 2021 (source).
For aluminum cookware from China, the extension is interim: a repeat investigation began on May 29, 2026 and must be completed within 12 months, while the original measure (Decision No. 107 of August 24, 2021) was set to expire on September 24, 2026. To avoid a gap in enforcement, the duty was extended through May 28, 2027 at the unchanged rate of 21.89% (source).
Zero duty on titanium industry feedstock
The import duty on niobium-aluminum master alloy (code 8112, tariff line 8112 92 410 0) was cut from 10% to 0% through October 31, 2028. The alloy is used as an alloying agent in producing titanium ingots and alloys, including for medical applications; the Commission expects the move to lower production costs for the bloc's metallurgical producers (source).
Implications for business
The decisions affect distinct groups: beef, pork and poultry importers need to plan around the new 2027 quota volumes; suppliers of Chinese auto components and cookware face elevated duty rates for years to come; titanium alloy producers benefit from cheaper feedstock immediately. Companies trading these goods should adjust sourcing schedules and declaration templates to match the new quotas and duty timelines.
