Central News Agency (CNA Taipei, June 30) China's Ministry of Commerce announced today that it will implement provisional anti-dumping measures on pea starch (pea flour) originating from Canada. The Ministry of Commerce, on its official website, released the preliminary ruling of its anti-dumping investigation into pea starch originating from Canada. The investigation authority has preliminarily determined that imported pea starch originating from Canada is being dumped, that the domestic pea starch industry in China has suffered substantial damage, and that there is a causal relationship between the dumping and the substantial damage. The announcement stated that China will adopt provisional anti-dumping measures in the form of security deposits. Starting July 1, a security deposit of 73.5% will be levied on all Canadian companies. China initiated the anti-dumping investigation into imported pea starch originating from Canada last August. The Ministry of Commerce previously stated that this anti-dumping investigation was initiated at the request of China's domestic industry, citing a significant increase in the volume of imported pea starch from Canada, with import prices consistently lower than the selling prices of domestic Chinese products, leading to operational difficulties and losses for the Chinese domestic industry.
