MOFCOM has launched an anti-dumping investigation into p-nitrotoluene imports
originating from the EU following a petition by China’s domestic industry.
Petitioners’ preliminary evidence shows high EU import volumes in 2022–2025 and
a cumulative price decline of nearly 60%, alleging dumped EU imports have harmed
domestic producers. MOFCOM said the application meets Chinese law and WTO
criteria and that it will conduct the investigation according to law, protect
stakeholders’ rights and make an objective ruling.
