China has introduced provisional anti-dumping measures on pecan imports from Mexico and the United States following an investigation launched in September 2025.
Mexican exporters will face rates ranging from 17.8% to 51.6%, while imports from the United States will be subject to a 54.3% rate. Several Mexican companies participated in the investigation, whereas no U.S. companies took part in the proceedings.
China’s Ministry of Commerce preliminarily determined that the products under investigation were being imported under dumping conditions and that these imports had caused material injury to the domestic pecan industry.
The measures took effect on August 11, 2026, with importers required to provide deposits based on the applicable company-specific rates. The investigation will continue before Chinese authorities issue a final determination.
For Mexican pecan exporters, the decision changes the conditions for accessing the Chinese market and could affect pricing, costs and commercial planning while the provisional measures remain in place.
