What the source says

Polyester spunbond used as a carrier for roofing waterproofing materials is subject to definitive EU anti-dumping duties of 39.8% to 48.1% on Chinese imports for five years.

Allbase view

The duties apply at EU borders, not UK ones, but EU-made roofing membranes on Chinese polyester carriers could rise in price as makers switch supply, and UK buyers may see some of that. On roofing jobs, check where the specified membrane is made and ask suppliers how long quotes will hold.
