The spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce has issued a statement in response to questions from reporters regarding the anti-dumping investigation ruling on imported optical fiber products originating from the United States.

Question: We have noticed that the Ministry of Commerce has issued a notice on its website regarding anti-avoidance measures for imported optical fiber products from the United States. Can you introduce the relevant situation? On March 4, 2025, in response to an application from domestic companies in China, the Ministry of Commerce initiated an anti-avoidance investigation on imported single-mode optical fiber products with cutoff wavelength displacement originating in the United States. This is the first anti-avoidance investigation in China. After initiating the case, the Ministry of Commerce conducted the investigation in accordance with the law and regulations, with a transparent and open investigation process that fully protected the rights of all stakeholders. Evidence from the investigation showed that U.S. exporters were avoiding China's anti-dumping measures on non-dispersive displacement single-mode optical fiber products from the United States by exporting related cutoff wavelength shift single-mode optical fiber to China. Based on the investigation results, the Ministry of Commerce issued a notice stating that the anti-avoidance measures will be implemented starting from September 4, 2025.
