China has preliminarily determined that imports of pecans, or carya illinoensis, originating from the United States and Mexico are being dumped and will impose interim anti-dumping measures, the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) said on Monday.

In a statement on its website, the MOFCOM said such dumping practices by the two exporting countries have caused material injury to China's domestic industry, with a direct causal relationship existing between the dumped imports and the sustained industrial damage.

The ministry said it has decided to adopt interim anti-dumping measures in the form of security deposits, effective from August 11, 2026.
