JCB wants the UK government to more than double tariffs on Chinese #excavators. Their argument? Chinese #exporters are quietly absorbing the existing #duties to keep prices low… a deliberate attempt to game the system.
It's a serious claim. But the data tells a more complicated story.

The core of JCB's case is a 20% fall in the average price per kilogram of Chinese imports.

What they don't highlight: could be that the machines are getting smaller?
There's also a timeline issue. JCB's price chart runs back to 2022. Their volume chart starts in 2023. That missing year could completely change how you read the market.

Before the UK Trade Remedies Authority signs off on duties of up to 80%, it's worth asking the obvious question: is #China really eating the #tariff — or did the UK market just start buying smaller diggers?

Whatever the decision, one #signal comes through loud and clear: JCB is scared.

The Dutch trade sector experienced a modest recovery in 2025 as the value of both imports and exports grew by 1.4%. According to the latest figures from Statistics Netherlands (CBS), total exports reached 655 billion euros, while imports totaled 582 billion euros. While lower prices persisted throughout the year, higher trade volumes successfully offset these costs to drive overall growth.
