China on Saturday issued the final ruling of the anti-dumping investigation into canola imports originating in Canada, determining an anti-dumping duty rate of 5.9 percent for Canadian companies, with the definitive anti-dumping measures to be implemented from March 1 for a period of five years, a spokesperson from China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) said on Saturday.

 

The measures can alleviate the pressure on the domestic industry to a certain extent and are conducive to maintaining its healthy and stable development, while taking Canada's reasonable requests into account, the MOFCOM said in a statement, responding to a question about more details about the final ruling of the anti-dumping investigation into canola imports from Canada.

 

The spokesperson said the ministry initiated an anti-dumping investigation into canola imports originating in Canada on September 9, 2024. After the initiation, the ministry conducted the investigation strictly in accordance with laws and regulations, extensively listened to the opinions of all interested parties, fully protected the rights of all parties, and made an objective, fair, and just ruling. A preliminary ruling was issued in August 2025, deciding to adopt provisional anti-dumping measures.

 

China has always advocated for resolving trade differences through dialogue and consultation. During the investigation, Canada expressed concerns over the canola case multiple times. China took Canada's reasonable requests into account within the framework of its rules and made the final ruling based on facts and evidence. China is willing to work with Canada to continue deepening China-Canada economic and trade cooperation for the benefit of the people of both nations, according to the spokesperson.
