China Slashes EU Pork Tariffs Dramatically

China's Commerce Ministry announced a significant reduction in tariffs on pork imports from the European Union, setting the maximum rate at 19.8%. This marks a considerable decrease from the preliminary tariffs that had reached up to 62.4%.

The investigation leading to these tariffs was initiated after the EU imposed provisional duties on Chinese-made electric vehicles. China's findings concluded that the EU had been dumping pork and pig by-products into its market, thereby harming China's domestic pork industry.

This new tariff structure, set to last for five years beginning December 17, 2025, will apply to all pork products, regardless of their form. Spain, the Netherlands, and Denmark are expected to bear the brunt of these changes.
