This public notice takes effect from 3 May 2024, and the anti-dumping duty applies from 20 September 2023.
1. Secretary of State’s decision on new exporter review
This is a public notice published by the Secretary of State under Section 13 of the Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Act 2018 following a new exporter review conducted under regulation 71 and regulation 94B of the Trade Remedies (Dumping and Subsidisation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019.
The public notice:
- accepts and gives effect to the Trade Remedies Authority’s (TRA) recommendation that exports from Hunan Jewelmoon Ceramics on goods in scope of the anti-dumping measure on Chinese ceramic tableware and kitchenware should be subject to a lower anti-dumping rate of 17.9%
- supersedes the temporary suspension Trade remedies notice 2023/21
- relates to Chinese ceramic tableware and kitchenware (for a more detailed description of the goods, see the “Goods description” section)
The EU imposed anti-dumping duties under Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 412/2013 on 13 May 2013, and the UK transitioned the above EU duties into UK law on 31 December 2020. This is set out in Taxation notice 2020/30: anti-dumping duty on ceramic tableware and kitchenware originating in the People’s Republic of China.
2. Reasons for the Trade Remedies Authority’s recommendation
The TRA has determined that Hunan Jewelmoon Ceramics Co., Ltd:
- did not export to the EU in the EU period of investigation
- is not related to another company subject to the EU duty measures
- exported to the UK in the period after the EU period of investigation
3. Overseas exporter: anti-dumping additional codes
3.1 Table 1: duty amount and additional codes
| Company | Anti-dumping duty amount | Additional Code |
