Abstract: Following the rapid growth of Indica rice imports from Cambodia and Myanmar, the European Union (EU) adopted safeguard measures to reinstate the common-customs tariff rate of 175 euros per ton from 2019, with a progressive liberalization over three years. To estimate the impact of safeguard duties, this paper uses a sample of milled rice imports in 28 EU importers at the monthly level during 2017-2020 and adopts a standard triple differences approach. The results show that safeguard duties have a significantly negative impact on import values and quantity of affected goods, and a significantly positive impact on import prices. Safeguard duties appear to induce trade redirection to other third markets, but produce little substitution effects for EU rice producers.
