Ministry of Commerce: China has always exercised caution and restraint in the use of trade relief measures, firmly upholding fair and free trade.

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answered reporters' questions regarding the preliminary ruling on the anti-dumping investigation into imported pecans originating from Mexico and the United States. On September 25, 2025, the Ministry of Commerce launched an anti-dumping investigation into imported pecans from Mexico and the United States. Preliminary evidence from the investigation indicates that the imported products in question are being dumped, causing substantial harm to the related domestic industry, and there is a causal relationship between the dumping and the substantial harm. In accordance with the relevant provisions of the Anti-Dumping Regulations of the People's Republic of China, on August 10, 2026, the Ministry of Commerce issued an announcement of the preliminary ruling and decided to implement temporary anti-dumping measures, stating that the dumping margin for Mexican companies is between 17.8% and 51.6%; as no U.S. companies participated in the investigation, in accordance with Chinese relevant laws and WTO rules, the dumping margin for all U.S. companies is determined to be 54.3% based on available facts. China has consistently exercised caution and restraint in the use of trade remedy measures, firmly maintaining fair and free trade. Moving forward, we will continue to conduct the investigation in accordance with the law, fully safeguarding the rights of all stakeholders, and make a final ruling objectively and fairly based on the investigation results.
