The spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce responds to questions from journalists regarding the final ruling on the anti-dumping case of Canadian canola seeds.

A reporter asked: We noticed that the Ministry of Commerce issued the final ruling announcement on the anti-dumping investigation on imported canola seeds originating from Canada on February 28. Can you introduce the relevant situation? The Ministry of Commerce initiated an anti-dumping investigation on imported canola seeds originating from Canada on September 9, 2024. After the case was filed, the Ministry of Commerce carried out the investigation in strict accordance with the law and regulations, extensively soliciting opinions from all stakeholders, fully safeguarding the rights of all parties, and making an objective, fair, and just ruling. The preliminary ruling announcement was issued in August 2025, deciding to impose temporary anti-dumping measures. The final ruling announcement was issued on February 28, 2026, ruling that the anti-dumping duty rate for Canadian companies is 5.9%, and deciding to implement the final anti-dumping measures starting from March 1 for a period of 5 years. The measures can alleviate the pressure on domestic industries to a certain extent, and are conducive to maintaining the healthy and stable development of domestic industries. China has always advocated resolving trade disputes through dialogue and negotiations. During the investigation, Canada expressed concerns about the canola seed case multiple times. China considered Canada's reasonable demands within the rules framework and made the final ruling based on facts and evidence. China is willing to continue to deepen economic and trade cooperation with Canada and enhance the well-being of the people of both countries together.
