Woosh....looks like the EBMA are attacking us with further requests to the commission. It is interesting that one of the biggest importer from China into the EU (incl UK) is Italy,there must be a few Italian importers downing the Prosecco. two more measures The two measures that EBMA wants, are...

It must be me getting old and cynical,it's good you see the best in everybody....I only say that would you be allowed to operate your business for 17 years without displaying accounts?? KudosDave

It would be very easy for EU producers to put evidence to the commission that all 4 points apply. Looking at the EU position if these big EU employers are suffering they would be in a difficult position if redundancies occurred due to the Chinese imports,whereas they collect lots of money from...

If you don't think that the complaint will be upheld and are confident of that,then you are ok to continue ordering e-bikes,even though the notice has stated that the duties will be retrospectively applied....you do realise that you could have sold bikes at prices that you assume will be 6% duty...

You are looking at matters from a 'fair' viewpoint,but the EU is only interested in protecting the EBMA members,the fairness of whether the anti-dumping duty is justified is irrelevant. I was involved in the anti-dumping duty complained by BBS wheels,we put up an honest fight against the dumping...

Bit of a joke really...we are trying to encourage e-bike use with a grant and the EU are slapping an anti-dumping duty,which will discourage their use. KudosDave

The definition of dumping is 'when a product is sold in an export country cheaper than it is sold in the market of origin' it is deemed to be dumped. In this case the EBMA have lodged a complaint,they represent 25% of the EU e-bike industry. It is blatent protectionism,the complainants have...

David(Amps),I received formal notice of the e-bike anti-dumping duty from my shippers. Some points it raises.... 1.It only specifies China,so it would be possible to build in other Asian countries,although the vanilla bike anti-dumping did get extended to other countries. 2. It doesn't mention...

Colin,KTM...this is the best info I have found. The U.K.,post Brexit,can choose what tariffs it wants to apply on imports. However,we don't have a free hand,whatever tariffs we choose,we would have to apply the same rates to all WTO members,except where it has a trade agreement or helping...

The way I read it is that WTO rules apply unless you have completed a trade deal with a country,then you can select tariffs that suit both countries in the deal,not sure if it has to be the same in both directions. Will look a bit further. Dave

Woosh....you really are incredibly naive at times....just try to get a product out of the EU anti-dumping net. The EU put the duties on everything and then you have to argue your way out....small businesses like Brompton,Woosh,Kudos don't have legal power to fight the EU. I know of one bike...

I think Woosh is correct,there is a WTO tariff chart if you trawl the net,it's about the same numbers we use from China. It's the anti-dumping duty that's the killer,48% plus 6% duty,hence my 55% approximation. If we crash out,the EU will put a border down the English Channel,they will put all...

But the EU is still actively continuing with anti-dumping duty from China,that will be 55%...,.why would you put a different tariff on e-bikes away from vanilla bikes,so 55% seems probable. I am sure that all bikes,both e-bike and vanilla, post Brexit will have a 55% tariff UK to EU,that will...

I asked the identical question on this forum about a week ago...nobody seems to know. KudosDave

Ok ,let's just assume that our country is not divided,assume that the Tories are not divided and both Leavers and Remainers join together behind our government. HOW DO WE GET OUT OF THE MESS WE ARE IN????? KudosDave

Have you woken up yet !!!!!

We import a lot of stuff into the UK,most of this stuff is priced in US dollar or euro. When the pound bombed post brexit all imports became about 20% more expensive,for a time this was offset by old stocks and forward bought money. Most businesses then put their prices up by about 20% so those...

The problem is making any decisions at the moment based upon political decisions by our government could be completely wrong... 1. We could stay in the EU and the commission may reject the anti-dumping duty complaint....in which case we stay as we are. 2. We could stay in the EU and the...

I assume you have visited an e-bike assembly plant? It isnt that expensive to set one up,a runway with vertical posts,they build them on their side.£10k would probably do it. KudosDave

Does anyone know the possible WTO tariff on completed bicycles and completed e-bikes.....this is very important if we decide to crash out from the EU....it is likely this tariff will be the one we have to use to stay part of the WTO club. We could choose to stay part of the customs union,in...
