Overview

• Beijing announced provisional anti-dumping duties on EU pork and offal that take effect on September 10.
• Most cooperating exporters face a 20% rate, with sample-specific margins such as 15.6% for Spain’s Litera Meat and 32.7% for the Netherlands’ Vion, while non-cooperators face higher tariffs.
• The measures cover chilled and frozen pork cuts, offal and pig fat, and exclude ham and processed sausages.
• Spain is heavily exposed, with major firms including El Pozo, Noel and Campofrío listed at the 20% rate, and the country shipped about 540,000 tonnes worth €1.097 billion to China in 2024, according to Interporc.
• The investigation runs until December 16, after which China plans to set permanent duties, as Brussels studies next steps and Spain’s agriculture minister urges dialogue.
