The spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answered reporters' questions on the final ruling of the anti-dumping case against Canadian rapeseed

A reporter asked: We have noticed that the Ministry of Commerce issued a final ruling on the anti-dumping investigation of imported rapeseed originating in Canada on February 28th. Can you introduce the relevant situation?

Answer: The Ministry of Commerce launched an anti-dumping investigation on imported rapeseed originating in Canada on September 9, 2024. After filing the case, the Ministry of Commerce strictly conducted investigations in accordance with laws and regulations, extensively listened to the opinions of various stakeholders, fully protected the rights of all parties, and made objective, fair, and just judgments. In August 2025, a preliminary ruling announcement will be issued, deciding to adopt temporary anti-dumping measures. On February 28, 2026, a final ruling was issued, determining that the anti-dumping duty rate for Canadian companies was 5.9%, and deciding to implement the final anti-dumping measures from March 1 for a period of 5 years. The measures can alleviate the pressure on domestic industries to a certain extent, which is conducive to maintaining the healthy and stable development of domestic industries.

China has always advocated resolving trade disputes through dialogue and consultation. During the investigation, the Canadian side expressed concerns about the rapeseed case multiple times. The Chinese side has considered Canada's reasonable demands within the framework of the rules and made a final ruling based on facts and evidence. China is willing to work with Canada to continue deepening economic and trade cooperation and enhancing the well-being of the people of both countries.
