In a statement on its website, the ministry said it will adjust the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties on the imports starting on Wednesday. They will range from 46.6 percent to 73.8 percent, and 4 percent to 4.2 percent, respectively.
Previously, the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties were set at up to 105.4 percent and 30.3 percent, respectively.
On Dec 25 last year the Ministry of Commerce announced that they would further investigate anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures applied to US chicken imports. The imports were ruled to have been dumped and subsidized, and found to have directly resulted in substantial harm to China’s domestic white-feathered broiler chicken industry.
In September last year, the WTO Dispute Settlement Body adopted a panel report supporting China's arguments regarding determination of domestic industry and trade level differences.
But it also upheld the US claims that China acted inconsistently with articles of the Anti-Dumping Agreement in conducting the investigations as well as in the calculation of the anti-dumping and countervailing duties.
