Hey South and Southeast Asia! Starting September 10, the Chinese mainland is rolling out temporary anti-dumping measures on certain pork and pig by-products from the EU. 🐷✈️
Why the move? Local pork producers say EU suppliers have been selling products below fair market value, undercutting domestic businesses. To level the playing field, importers must now pay deposit rates ranging from 15.6% to 62.4%, depending on the company.
This all kicked off when domestic industry groups filed complaints back in June last year. After a thorough probe, the ministry decided to keep the investigation open until December 16, 2025, and has now issued a preliminary ruling.
According to officials, the Chinese mainland has been cautious in using trade remedies and opposes any abuse of such measures. They’re open to talking things through with the EU via dialogue and consultation, aiming to keep overall cooperation stable.
The investigation will follow Chinese laws and WTO rules to make sure every party gets a fair shake. Final results will be based on the evidence gathered during the probe. Stay tuned for updates! 🌍📊
