As we reported earlier in the year, the EU in November 2012 imposed anti-dumping duties as high as 58% on ceramic table and kitchen ware coming from China. That's mugs to us. Following a complaint by the EEPA, the European Commission has recomended that the duty rates are reduced to between 13.1% and 36.1%.. This is still a very high duty rate and will undoubtably affect the prices of these products.
