Commenting on the final ruling in the anti-dumping investigation into imports of pork and pig by-products originating in the European Union, a spokesperson for China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) said on Tuesday that the investigation was launched on June 17, 2024 at the request of the China Animal Agriculture Association. 

The spokesperson said that China's domestic industry is currently facing operational difficulties and has voiced strong calls for protection. Against this backdrop, the ministry conducted the investigation in strict accordance with laws and regulations, extensively solicited views from all interested parties, fully safeguarded their legitimate rights, and reached its conclusions in an objective, fair and impartial manner, according to a MOFCOM statement.

According to the ruling report, imports of the products concerned from the EU were dumped and caused material injury to China's domestic industry. The ministry issued the final ruling on December 16, 2025, setting anti-dumping duty rates for EU companies at between 4.9 percent and 19.8 percent, and decided to implement the final anti-dumping measures from December 17 for a period of five years.
