countervailing charge

Countervailing charge may apply in the following circumstances:

Note that this isn't the same as countervailing charges, which can apply to agricultural products subject to the Common Agricultural Policy.

This page explains when any anti-dumping or countervailing charges must be paid, and includes notes on special cases such as duty suspension schemes and registration.

Goods to which countervailing charge may apply are indicated in Column 5 of Volume 2 of the Tariff by an appropriate footnote.

Note: You should not confuse countervailing duty with countervailing charges, which are applicable to products subject to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).

CAP charges: Charges arising from the Common Agricultural Policy - duties, agricultural component charges and countervailing charges.

Countervailing charge: A charge which may be imposed by the Commission either on certain goods from specified non-Community countries during some months of the year or as part of a minimum import price system.

However, as special preferential rates, countervailing charges and/or quotas and/or other restrictions may change at short notice, your most up to date source of information will always be the online UK Trade Tariff itself.
