The Chinese government has started looking into whether Canada engaged in dumping practices with respect to canola exports.
“Evidence has shown that Canada dumps (canola) seeds in China and has caused material harms to China’s domestic industry,” a Chinese commerce ministry spokesperson said, Global Times, a Chinese state newspaper, reported.
“In line with relevant Chinese laws and regulations as well as WTO rules, related Chinese investigative agencies decided to launch an anti-dumping investigation into (canola) seeds imported from Canada.”
China’s commerce ministry announced it will investigate imports of Canadian canola from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2023. And that preliminary evidence suggests dumping (selling a product at a lower price than its normal value), occurred.
