China Prolongs Anti-Dumping Probe into EU Brandy Exports
BEIJING (Reuters) - China will extend its anti-dumping investigation into EU brandy by three months, its commerce ministry said on Wednesday, buying key EU exporters more time to step up their lobbying.
In view of the "complexity" of the case, the commerce ministry said it was extending the investigation until July 5.
The probe, initiated in January 2024 amid heightened trade tensions between China and the 27-state bloc, was originally due to be concluded in a year. It was then extended to April 5, 2025.
