A Ministry of Commerce spokesman answered questions from reporters regarding the preliminary ruling on anti-dumping investigations against imported pecans originating in Mexico and the United States. On September 25, 2025, the Ministry of Commerce initiated an anti-dumping investigation against imported pecans from Mexico and the United States. After investigation, preliminary evidence showed that imports of the investigated products had been dumped, that the relevant domestic industry had suffered material damage, and that there was a causal relationship between dumping and material damage. According to the relevant provisions of the “Anti-dumping Regulations of the People's Republic of China”, the Ministry of Commerce issued a preliminary ruling notice on the case on August 10, 2026, and decided to implement provisional anti-dumping measures, ruling that the Mexican company's dumping margin was 17.8%-51.6%; since no US company participated in the investigation, according to relevant Chinese laws and regulations and WTO rules, the dumping margin of all US companies was determined to be 54.3%. China has always been cautious and restrained in the use of trade remedy measures, and has steadfastly upheld fair and free trade. In the next step, we will continue to carry out investigations in accordance with the law, fully protect the rights of all stakeholders, and make final decisions objectively and impartially based on the investigation results.
