China Imposes Levies on Pecans From US, Mexico
Chinese importers must post cash deposits of up to 54.3% after MOFCOM said dumped pecans injured the domestic industry.
- On Monday, China's Ministry of Commerce issued preliminary anti-dumping duties on pecans from the United States and Mexico, with provisional cash-deposit measures taking effect on Tuesday, August 11, 2026.
- Following an investigation initiated in September, the Ministry reached a "preliminary ruling" after finding "Preliminary evidence indicates that the imported products under investigation are being dumped, causing substantial damage to the relevant domestic industry."
- U.S. producers face a blanket 54.3% rate, while Mexican exporters face levies ranging from 17.8% to 51.6%, with rates depending on whether companies cooperated with the investigation.
- Non-Cooperating Mexican firms face the highest rate of 51.6%, while Alta Vineyards received the lowest rate at 17.8% and San Enrique Agricultural Enterprises received 23.0%.
- These duties reflect ongoing trade friction between the world's two largest economies; China acted under its Anti-Dumping Regulations and WTO rules, though this action is preliminary and a final determination will follow.
