China to United Kingdom is a third-country movement. Our sanctions register has no reviewed coverage for China, so the answer shows the gap instead of assuming ordinary treatment.

China to United Kingdom crosses a customs border. A customs declaration is filed on entry and the importer needs a GB EORI number.
China outside our sanctions register's reviewed coverage
Our country-level register holds no programme for China, but it lists only measures we have reviewed and is not exhaustive: silence here is a gap in our coverage, not a finding that no measure exists. UK (OFSI) binds this lane, so their measures on China have to be checked at the authority before anyone relies on this.
Check the China country measures at each binding authority (UK (OFSI)) · Screen the supplier, its owners, the consignee and the end user
No agreement found in our register
Our register of blocs and selected bilateral agreements has no entry covering China and United Kingdom. It is not exhaustive (for example it does not yet hold the EEA, the EU-Switzerland agreements or RCEP), so this is not a finding that no agreement exists or that MFN duty applies; check the WTO database before pricing.
