China initiates Antidumping investigation on pork imports

China Explores Retaliatory Measures Against the European Union Over Tariff Dispute. The People's Republic of China has initiated an anti-dumping investigation into pork imports from the EU, focusing primarily on producers from Denmark, Spain, and the Netherlands, as the Chinese Ministry of Commerce announced on Thursday. The three countries have supported temporary EU tariffs on certain Chinese electric vehicles since July 5th.

Danish Crown, a Danish meat processor, Vion Boxtel, a Dutch slaughterhouse, and Litera Meat, a Spanish food processor, will be inspected, the ministry disclosed. The focus will be on pork. This includes pork parts such as feet, ears, and offal, which are highly valued in China but differ in consumption from Europe. The investigation is expected to run until June 17, 2025, and can be extended by an additional six months if necessary.

China imported pork worth six billion dollars in 2023, including by-products generated during processing. More than half of these goods came from abroad. Spain is China's largest EU supplier of pork, followed by the Netherlands and Denmark.

The Customs dispute between China and the European Union escalated with China initiating an Antidumping investigation into pork import from Denmark, Spain, and the Netherlands, claiming potential dumping practices. This probe, expected to run until 2025, could negatively impact pork import from these EU countries, specifically including pork parts highly valued in China like feet, ears, and offal.

The European Union's temporary tariffs on certain Chinese electric vehicles served as a precedent for China's Antidumping investigation into EU pork import, indicating a growing tension in bilateral trade relations.
