Important notice regarding customs duties (customers within the EU)

Some of our products are manufactured in China. Under the EU’s anti-dumping measures on ceramic tableware and kitchenware originating in China (including Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/274), additional customs duties may apply when importing goods into EU Member States.
Any such duties, taxes, or handling fees are determined by the customs authorities of the destination country and are the responsibility of the customer upon import.

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/274 establishes an adjustment to existing anti-dumping measures on certain ceramic products from China. It is a legal act adopted by the European Commission in 2026, updating previous EU provisions to maintain fair competition within the internal market.

Background and Purpose

The Regulation builds on previous investigations under the EU’s anti-dumping framework. It assesses price dumping of ceramic tableware and kitchenware from China, where Chinese producers sold goods at prices lower than those in their domestic market. The objective is to restore fair market conditions and prevent injury to European industry.

Main Content

The Regulation sets revised duty rates and methodological adjustments following a renewed review. It confirms that dumping continues and maintains or adjusts existing duties in line with EU trade defense rules.

Significance for the EU Market

The measure protects producers in EU Member States from unfair competition caused by underpriced imports, particularly within the ceramics industry in countries such as Portugal, Spain, and Italy. It also signals the EU’s continued use of trade defense instruments to support fair international trade and industrial sustainability.
