EU and UK duty tracker · Last checked 3 November 2026

What duties apply to home goods from China, Vietnam and Taiwan in the EU and UK?

In the EU, China-made candles carry an anti-dumping duty of 56.7% to 60.3% and China-made ceramic tableware carries 79%, on top of the normal duty. Qualifying goods from Vietnam enter at 0% on the lines below. Taiwan pays the normal duty. The UK sets its own rates: its anti-dumping rate on Chinese ceramic tableware is lower and under review.

We update this page every month and whenever an official notice changes a rate in our categories. The exact code decides the duty, so check TARIC or the UK Trade Tariff on the day you cost an order and confirm with your customs broker.

How each origin is treated

  • China. Normal duty plus anti-dumping duty where a measure applies. In the EU the ceramic rate has been one 79% rate since 7 February 2026 and the candle rate depends on the producer. Company rates need the invoice declaration the regulation requires.
  • Vietnam. The 0% rates come from the EU and UK trade agreements with Vietnam and depend on the goods qualifying as originating there. We do not transship: what we ship from Vietnam is made in Vietnam, with a Certificate of Origin on every shipment.
  • Taiwan. We found no preferential rate listed for Taiwan on these lines, so the normal duty applies.

Frequently asked questions

How often is this tracker updated?

We check it every month and whenever an official notice changes a rate that affects candles, ceramic tableware, glassware or marble. The date at the top of the page is the last check.

Does Vietnam's 0% rate apply automatically?

No. The preferential rate depends on the goods qualifying as originating in Vietnam under the trade agreement and on valid proof of origin. Without that, the normal duty applies.

Are the EU and UK anti-dumping rates on Chinese ceramics the same?

No. The EU has one 79% rate since 7 February 2026. The UK lists a 36.1% residual rate with separate company rates, and an interim review opened on 20 July 2026.

Does a lower rate apply to goods shipped through Vietnam or Taiwan?

No. Duty follows the country of origin, where the goods are made or substantially transformed, not the port of loading. What we ship from Vietnam is made in Vietnam, and every shipment travels with a Certificate of Origin.
