The Administrative Court in Stockholm has today delivered its judgment in the case between Bulten and the Swedish Customs (Sw. Tullverket) concerning anti-dumping duties on imports of materials from China, following Bulten’s appeal against the Swedish Customs’ decision on customs duties in respect of SEK 35 million of the SEK 45 million as communicated by way of a press release on April 10, 2025. The court has upheld Bulten’s appeal and thereby annuls the Swedish Customs’ previous decision on customs duties for the years 2022-2024.
The judgment means, if it becomes legally binding, that Bulten will receive a refund of previously paid and expensed customs duties as well as interest, totalling approximately SEK 35 million.
“This is a pleasing and welcome announcement from the Administrative Court. The judgment confirms our view that we have classified our products correctly in accordance with the applicable regulations”, says Axel Berntsson, President and CEO.
The Swedish Customs may apply for leave to appeal to the Administrative Court of Appeal until June 18, 2026.
