<p>The tariffs applied by the EU on goods manufactured by China will vary according
to the precise product being imported. The EU’s tariff schedule contains in excess
of 9000 separate tariff lines on which separate duties are imposed. The table below
shows the average Most Favoured Nation (MFN) tariffs imposed by the EU on imports
from China for broad product groups. However, in addition to MFN tariffs, additional
tariffs may apply to some specific products if anti-dumping or anti subsidy measures
are in place.</p><p> </p><p>Further details on the tariffs which apply to specific
products can be found at the gov.uk website <a href="https://www.gov.uk/trade-tariff"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/trade-tariff</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Over 200 EU tariffs
applied to imports of certain information technology goods and some medical equipment
will be eliminated as a result of the successful conclusion in December 2015 of negotiations
to expand the Information Technology Agreement.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td
