on september 9, the ministry of commerce issued an announcement to initiate an anti-dumping investigation on imported rapeseed originating from canada. the dumping investigation period determined in this investigation is from january 1, 2023 to december 31, 2023, and the industry damage investigation period is from january 1, 2021 to december 31, 2023.

according to the ministry of commerce website, a spokesperson for the ministry of commerce said that there is evidence that canada has engaged in dumping of canola exports to china, causing substantial damage to china's domestic industry. in accordance with relevant chinese laws and regulations and in compliance with wto rules, the chinese investigation authority has decided to initiate an anti-dumping investigation on canola imports from canada in accordance with the law.

a spokesperson for the ministry of commerce said that anti-dumping investigations are legitimate trade measures in line with wto rules to protect domestic industries. china's anti-dumping investigation on canola imports from canada is fundamentally different from the discriminatory measures taken by canada in violation of wto rules.

independently initiate investigations in accordance with the law

article 18 of the anti-dumping regulations of the people's republic of china stipulates: "under special circumstances, if the ministry of commerce has not received a written application for an anti-dumping investigation, but there is sufficient evidence to believe that there is dumping and injury and that there is a causal relationship between the two, it may decide to initiate an investigation."

the preliminary evidence and information obtained by the ministry of commerce show that the imported rapeseed originating from canada is exported to china at a price lower than the normal value, which is a dumping behavior. at the same time, the quantity of this product entering the chinese market has increased significantly, and the price has continued to fall, which has reduced and suppressed the prices of similar products in china's domestic industry. china's domestic industry has suffered substantial damage. there is a causal relationship between the dumping of imported products from canada and the substantial damage to the domestic industry.
