China’s Ministry of Commerce announced preliminary rulings on its anti-dumping investigations into halogenated butyl rubber and Canadian rapeseed. The probe into rubber imports from India was dropped due to their low market share, but products from Canada and Japan were found to be dumped. Importers of these goods will need to pay deposits of up to 40.5 percent starting August 14, 2025. Halogenated butyl rubber is mainly used in airtight tire layers, heat-resistant tubes, bottle stoppers, adhesives, and sealing materials.
In a separate case, the ministry concluded that Canadian rapeseed had been dumped, harming China’s domestic industry, and that the dumping was directly linked to the damage. As a result, importers will have to pay a 75.8 percent deposit from August 14, 2025. Officials emphasized that both investigations followed Chinese law and World Trade Organization rules, with evidence confirming the existence of dumping and its impact on local producers.
