Chinese coffins sold in Europe at low prices are impacting local manufacturers, prompting calls for an EU investigation. The number of European coffin producers has decreased significantly, while imports from China have surged. In 2022, the value of imported coffins from China reached 16 million euros, rising to 28 million euros in 2025. Producers attribute their struggles to cheaper Chinese products and unfair competition, including state subsidies. Concerns about safety and potential health risks from materials used in these coffins have also been raised. A recent EU regulation allows unassembled products to be treated as finished goods, complicating import regulations.
