Determination to transition trade remedies measure

This notice is published under regulation 96(1) of the Trade Remedies (Dumping and Subsidisation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019.

The Secretary of State for International Trade has determined the anti-dumping duty on ceramic tableware and kitchenware originating in the People’s Republic of China imposed by the following European Union (EU) instrument is to be transitioned:

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1198 of 12 July 2019 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of ceramic tableware and kitchenware originating in the People’s Republic of China following an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of Regulation (EU) No 2016/1036.

Relevant amending instruments are: 

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2131 of 28 November 2019 amending Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1198 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of ceramic tableware and kitchenware originating in the People’s Republic of China following an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/571 of 24 April 2020 amending Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1198 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of ceramic tableware and kitchenware originating in the People’s Republic of China, as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2131 and repayment of duties collected.

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/881 of 25 June 2020 accepting a request for new exporting producer treatment with regard to the definitive anti- dumping measures imposed on imports of ceramic tableware and kitchenware originating in the People’s Republic of China by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1198.

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/882 of 25 June 2020 accepting a request for new exporting producer treatment with regard to the definitive anti- dumping measures imposed on imports of ceramic tableware and kitchenware originating in the People’s Republic of China by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1198.

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1407 of 6 October 2020 accepting a request for new exporting producer treatment with regard to the definitive anti- dumping measures imposed on imports of ceramic tableware and kitchenware originating in the People’s Republic of China and amending Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1198.

Transition of EU trade remedies measure

This determination follows a call for evidence conducted by the Department for International Trade to identify anti-dumping and countervailing duties imposed by the EU that should be transitioned into the United Kingdom (UK) system. For further information please refer to the Trade Measures Transition Policy guidance.

Effect of determination

The identified trade remedies measure will be transitioned so it will continue to apply when the UK begins operating an independent trade remedies system. This is once the UK ceases to apply the EU’s Common External Tariff, unless this notice is revoked, or the EU terminates the measure before the UK begins operating an independent trade remedies system.

A transition review will be conducted to assess whether the trade remedies measure is appropriate to the UK. The Trade Remedies Authority (or pending establishment, the Secretary of State) will assess whether the measure is necessary or sufficient to prevent or remove injury to UK industry and whether there would be injury to UK industry if it were no longer applied.

The result of the transition review will be a recommendation (or, pending establishment of the Trade Remedies Authority, a preliminary determination) that the measure be varied or revoked.

Secretary of State for International Trade
