On December 26th, the Ministry of Commerce held a regular press conference. He Yongqian, spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce, said that in response to the application of the domestic brandy industry, the Ministry of Commerce initiated an anti-dumping investigation on the import-related brandy originating in the European Union in January 2024. After filing the case, the Chinese investigation authority carried out the investigation in strict accordance with relevant Chinese laws and regulations and WTO rules, and made a preliminary ruling in August 2024. At present, European Union exporters have submitted applications for price commitment, and the domestic brandy industry has requested protection according to law. In view of the complexity of the case, at the application of the European side, the investigation authority decided to postpone the final ruling, hoping that all parties concerned will continue to cooperate with the investigation.
