EU Imposes 79% Anti-Dumping Duty on Chinese Ceramic Tableware and Kitchenware

On February 5, 2026, the European Union imposed a 79% anti-dumping duty on Chinese ceramic tableware and kitchenware, significantly impacting Chinese exporters and affecting logistics strategies1. This move is part of a broader effort by the EU to counteract unfair trade practices, which has led to numerous investigations into Chinese products375

H1: The New Tariff and Its Impact The European Union has imposed a new 79% duty on imports of Chinese ceramic tableware and kitchenware^375^. This decision follows a partial interim review which found that dumping was still occurring^375^. The new level represents a significant increase compared to previously applicable individual rates, which generally ranged between 13% and 36%^375^.

H2: The EU's Justification The EU Commission justified the steep increase by citing evidence that Chinese ceramic manufacturers receive government assistance through preferential financing, subsidized land, and cheaper raw materials^375^. The EU also concluded that Chinese exporters were selling products at artificially depressed prices^375^.

H3: Practical Impact on Importers For importers, this means a substantially increased cost level and a need to ensure correct customs handling^375^. There is also a potential review of supplier structures, sourcing strategies, and pricing^375^.

H4: The Duration of New Tariffs The revised tariff will apply for the next five years^375^.
