Against the backdrop of China-Canada trade frictions in 2024, the Ministry of Commerce of China initiated an anti-dumping investigation into Canadian rapeseed oil in September 2024 and imposed a preliminary anti-dumping duty of 75.8%. Following the signing of the China-Canada Economic and Trade Cooperation Roadmap in January 2026, the final duty rate was ultimately lowered to 5.9%.

On behalf of the client, the Gao Peng team overcame objective difficulties such as time differences within an extremely tight schedule, submitted a complete trader questionnaire response, fully cooperated with the investigation, and participated in two meetings with the Bureau of Trade Remedy of the Ministry of Commerce. The team witnessed the whole thrilling and twist‑turning process and provided professional international trade legal services for the client. Gao Peng extends congratulations to the client on achieving a substantially reduced final duty rate.
