TRA proposes keeping measure on Chinese ceramic kitchenware
The TRA has proposed that an anti-dumping measure on ceramic tableware and kitchenware from China be maintained until 16 July 2029.聽聽
The Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) has today (12 June 2025) published proposing that an anti-dumping measure on certain ceramic tableware and kitchenware products imported from China be maintained for an additional five years, until 16 July 2029.聽聽
Extending this measure will ensure that the UK바카라 사이트檚 industry, which produces and sells around 拢100m worth of ceramic tableware and kitchenware each year, continues to be protected from unfair competition.聽聽
The reviewed products include a variety of commonly used ceramic kitchen and tableware consumer items, such as plates, bowls, mugs, and cups. Detailed information about these products can be found in the investigation바카라 사이트檚 .聽
In its Statement of Essential Facts (SEF), the TRA found that dumping would be likely to continue in increased volumes if the measures were removed, and that injury to UK industry would be likely as a result. The investigation revealed that Chinese exports were entering the UK market at significantly lower prices, approximately 75% cheaper than similar products sold by UK manufacturers.聽
The estimated size of the ceramic tableware and kitchenware market in the UK is around 拢350 million, with Chinese imports accounting for 67% of all imports to the UK in 2024.聽聽
Current anti-dumping duties on Chinese ceramic tableware and kitchenware imports range from 13.1% to 36.1%, depending on the exporter.聽
Businesses that may be affected by these findings can submit comments to the TRA by 03 July 2025 and can do so through the TRA바카라 사이트檚 .聽
