China imposes anti-dumping duties on US and Mexican pecans
China has announced the imposition of provisional anti-dumping duties on pecan imports from the United States and Mexico. The Ministry of Commerce stated that an investigation initiated in September 2025 found that pecans from these nations were being sold at artificially low prices, causing substantial damage to China's domestic industry.
Under the new measures, U.S. importers are required to pay a cash deposit of 54.3% of the product's value. This blanket rate was applied because no American companies participated in the investigation. In contrast, several Mexican companies cooperated with the probe, resulting in varying duty rates between 17.8% and 51.6%.
The decision comes amid heightened trade tensions and precedes a scheduled state visit by Chinese leader Xi Jinping to Washington in September, where he is expected to meet with President Donald Trump. The move follows previous trade frictions and recent Chinese restrictions on drone exports to the U.S.
