The European Commission is collecting evidence on the initial impact of Regulation (EU) 2026/1384 after its first quarter of application. This is a consultation on the implementation and operation of an existing regulation, rather than a proposal for a new one.
BVM editorial adaptation, 10 October 2026. Sources: European Commission consultation, Regulation (EU) 2026/1384 and Viet Nam Steel Association. Deadline: 11 October 2026, 23:59 CEST (12 October, 04:59 in Viet Nam).
What feedback is sought?
The Regulation establishes tariff rate quotas for steel products within its scope to address trade-related effects of global overcapacity. The Commission invites producers, steel users, associations, third-country governments, exporters and other stakeholders to describe the immediate impact. Different product categories may be covered in separate survey responses. Source: European Commission.
BVM editorial view: exporters and buyers can make their observations useful by identifying the product category, origin, delivery date, quota access and documented effects on pricing, sourcing or lead time. Check Annex I and the applicable customs position for each shipment; the consultation does not itself change the tariff or quota.
Submit through the Commission consultation page and its EU Survey by the stated deadline. Check the form's confidentiality options before sharing commercially sensitive evidence.
