China on Monday decided to impose anti-dumping tariffs of up to 54.3 percent on imports of pecans (Carya illinoensis) from Mexico and the US in the form of deposits after it ruled preliminarily that imports of pecans from the two countries were dumped in the Chinese market, China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) announced.  
The investigating authority found a causal link between the alleged dumping of imports of pecans from Mexico and the US and the injury suffered by Chinese producers. The ministry said it will impose provisional anti-dumping measures in the form of security deposits beginning August 11, 2026, according to an announcement on the ministry's website on Monday.
The dumping margins for Mexican companies were determined to be 17.8 percent to 51.6 percent. Since no US company has responded to the investigation, and in accordance with Chinese law and WTO rules, the dumping margin for all US companies was determined on the basis of the best information available at 54.3 percent, according to a spokesperson of the MOFCOM. 
China launched the anti-dumping investigation into pecan imports from Mexico and the US on September 25, 2025, under its Anti-Dumping Regulations, according to the ministry.
A number of Mexican companies responded to the investigation, but no US companies did so. 
China has always exercised caution and restraint in using trade remedy measures, and remains firmly committed to safeguarding fair and free trade, the MOFCOM spokesperson said on Monday, briefing on the preliminary ruling. China will continue to conduct the investigation in accordance with the law, fully protect the rights of all interested parties, and make an objective and impartial final ruling based on the findings of the investigation, the spokesperson said.
Pecans, also known as American walnuts or thin-shelled walnuts, are used both as snacks and in baking, and can also be processed into edible oil.
The MOFCOM spokesperson said that the ministry has conducted the investigation in accordance with the principles of fairness, impartiality, openness, and transparency, and in strict compliance with relevant Chinese laws and regulations as well as WTO rules.
The ministry said interested parties may submit written comments within 10 days of the announcement.

。    An office at the Department of Homeland Security that helps detect biological and chemical weapons could shutter if Congress doesn't fund it by December -- an increasingly likely possibility as Republicans on Capitol Hill struggle to select a speaker.The Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office at the Department of Homeland Security, which is the one-stop shop for the department's detection and research of biological weapons, will close if not funded by December because of language put into the initial development of the office in 2018.Some of the capabilities of the office include supporting large events like the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade with radiological detection devices and supporting state and local governments with nuclear detection devices."This is a highly charged environment, and the threat environment is complex and it is complicated," Mary Ellen Callahan, the assistant secretary for countering weapons of mass destruction, told reporters at DHS headquarters on Thursday. "The CWMD office was created to have the subject matter expertise to be able to address a multitude of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats and to go and help support those who are the first responders, who are really the canaries in the coal mine, so to speak, and to help support the homeland."The office she oversees is the only one that looks at "state, local, tribal, territorial aspect of response to nuclear threats," she said.For example, the programs that partner with 14 major cities to detect and prepare a response for nuclear events would go away, Callahan said.Officials within the office said budgetary constraints could cause a strain for those cities."They would have to recreate [the CWMD office] and spend resources that they don't presently have," one DHS official said.Callahan told reporters that lawmakers are on board with legislation for the office to continue it is just about how to get it done in time before the office is terminated."It's a complicated congressional environment," she said.Much House business -- including appropriating funds to government agencies -- has come to a grinding halt following the ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy. After House Republicans twice rejected Rep. Jim Jordan for speaker, it appears there will be a third floor vote, although the timing is not yet clear.。
