China cuts anti-dumping tariffs on EU pork, ending year-long probe
In an official statement, China’s commerce authorities explained the scope of the inquiry, saying:
"The investigating authority investigated whether the investigated products were being dumped and the extent of dumping, whether the investigated products had caused injury to the domestic industry and the degree of injury, and the causal relationship between dumping and injury."
As outlined in the announcement, the revised duties will apply to dozens of European pork producers, with tariff levels ranging between 4.9% and 19.8%. The new rates are scheduled to come into force on Wednesday and will remain in place for a five-year period.
Earlier this year, European pork exports to China had been subjected to provisional anti-dumping measures, which included cash deposit requirements reaching as high as 62.4% beginning in September.
The pork dispute unfolded amid broader trade frictions between Beijing and Brussels. Tensions escalated after the European Union imposed tariffs of up to 45% on electric vehicles imported from China in October of last year, a move China strongly criticized as unfair and discriminatory.
According to market estimates cited in reports, the European Union is the largest pork exporter globally, selling roughly 13% of its annual production overseas. China remains the single biggest destination for those exports.
