Peru imposes definitive anti-dumping duties on Chinese ceramic toilets

On 6 October 2026, Indecopi's Dumping and Subsidies Commission, Peru's competition authority, published resolution 244 2026 CDB INDECOPI, which imposes definitive five-year anti-dumping duties on one-piece ceramic toilets originating in China. Smart toilets and those designed for recreational vehicles are explicitly excluded from the measure's scope.

The investigation, opened in April 2025, established dumping margins of between 15.2% and 45.2% depending on the Chinese producer examined. The definitive duties range from 5.70 dollars per unit for Chaozhou Romance Ceramic Technology to 12.70 dollars for Chaozhou Yatao Ceramics, and up to 14.30 dollars per unit for Chaozhou Farns Ceramics Industrial and other exporters that did not cooperate with the investigation.

The complaint had been filed by Peruvian manufacturers Corporación Cerámica, the Trebol brand, and VSI Industrial, the Vainsa brand, who argued that low-priced Chinese imports were undermining local production. Peru's business press expects retail prices in this category to rise.

A detail worth noting: the duty applies per unit rather than as a percentage of invoiced value, which weighs proportionally more heavily on entry-level lines than on premium models.
