# China pecan import anti-dumping dispute > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/china-pecan-import-anti-dumping-dispute > Updated: 2026-08-21T11:00:00.000Z. Sources: 2. Developments: 2. China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) has issued a preliminary anti-dumping determination regarding pecan imports from Mexico and the United States. Effective August 11, 2026, provisional cash-deposit measures were implemented to address claims that these products were being sold at artificially low prices, causing material injury to China’s domestic industry. Mexican exporters face varying deposit rates between 17.8% and 51.6%, while U.S. exporters are subject to a uniform 54.3% rate because no American companies participated in the investigation. The Mexican Secretariat of Economy has expressed concern and stated it will defend the interests of national producers. The tariffs have created uncertainty for Mexican producers, particularly in states like Sonora, Chihuahua, and Coahuila. Industry experts warn that the inability to export to Asia may cause a surplus of pecans within the Mexican domestic market, potentially driving down local prices. In response, exporters are exploring alternative markets in Europe and the United States. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-21: China imposes pecan tariffs affecting Mexican producers China's imposition of up to 51.6 percent antidumping tariffs on Mexican pecans is creating market uncertainty and potential price drops for producers in Coahuila, Mexico. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/china-imposes-pecan-tariffs-affecting-mexican-producers ### 2026-08-10: China imposes anti-dumping duties on pecan imports from Mexico and U.S China has imposed provisional anti-dumping duties on pecan imports from Mexico (17.8%–51.6%) and the U.S. (54.3%), citing unfair pricing that harms its domestic industry. 23 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/china-imposes-high-tariffs-on-us-and-mexican-pecan-imports --- Cite as: China pecan import anti-dumping dispute.
