The Headless Horseman isn’t the only menace to avoid this Halloween.

Add headless screws from China.

The European Commission has launched an anti-dumping investigation on imports of headless screws manufactured in China.

“The product allegedly being dumped… (originated) in the People’s Republic of China, currently classified under CN codes 7318 15 42 and 7318 15 48,” the EC notice stated.

Product under scrutiny is screws and bolts, whether or not with their nuts and washers, without heads, of iron or steel other than stainless steel, regardless of tensile strength, excluding coach screws and other wood screws, screw hooks and screw rings, self-tapping screws, and screws and bolts for fixing railway track construction material.

The investigation period runs from July 2023 through June 2024.
