Trade Defense Measures
The European Commission has opened an anti-dumping investigation into imports of Peking duck from China. The investigation seeks to determine whether unfair pricing practices exist and whether these practices cause significant harm to producers in the European Union.
Key findings of the research on the Chinese Peking duck
La Comisión Europea has formally initiated an antidumping investigation focused on imports of Peking duck native to the República Popular ChinaThis measure responds to the need to analyze whether poultry products are being introduced into the EU market at prices below their normal value, a practice known as dumping.
The objective of the investigation is twofold. On the one hand, it will verify whether imports from China are being carried out under conditions of dumpingOn the other hand, it will be assessed whether these business practices are causing a material damage to the producing industry of Unión EuropeaBoth elements are indispensable requirements for the possible imposition of trade defense measures.
For importing and distributing companies in the UEThe initiation of this investigation introduces a factor of uncertainty into the supply chain. If the investigation concludes with a positive result, the Comisión Europea could impose definitive anti-dumping dutiesThis would result in a higher price for the product and an adjustment in supply strategies.
