The tariffs applied by the EU on goods manufactured by China will vary according to the precise product being imported. The EU\u2019s 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>
Further details on the tariffs which apply to specific products can be found at the gov.uk website https://www.gov.uk/trade-tariff<\/a>.<\/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>

It noted that consumers may find it difficult to identify which printer manufacturer had the cheapest price overall - this included the upfront price of the printer and the price of cartridges over the life of the machine. The OFT worked with the industry to introduce a labelling scheme which allowed consumers to identify how many pages they could expect to print with a cartridge. This allows consumers to consider both the purchase price and the running costs of the printer.<\/p> <\/p> The Competition and Markets Authority took over the competition functions of the OFT in 2014.<\/p> <\/p>"}
