On 25 November 2025, the Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) confirmed that the UK Government will maintain an anti-dumping measure on certain ceramic tableware and kitchenware products imported from China for a further five years, until 16 July 2029.

The decision follows a detailed transition review which found that , if the measures were removed, dumping from China would be likely to continue in increased volumes and injury to the UK industry would likely recur.

Maintaining these measures will help to defend a UK ceramics industry worth around £100 million annually in production, in a UK market valued at approximately £350 million. In 2024, Chinese imports accounted for 67% of all imports in this category, often priced below similar products made by UK manufacturers.
