China imposes anti-dumping tariffs of up to 54.3 % on US, Mexican pecans in form of deposits: MOFCOM_我的网站
一 | New Delhi, Oct 11 (UNI) The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has issued cease and desist order against 8 firms found guilty of bid rigging and cartelization in tender floated by Eastern Railway, an official statement said on Tuesday.
The case was initiated on the basis of a reference filed on behalf of the Eastern Railway.
CCI found the firms to have indulged in cartelization in the supply of axle bearings to Eastern Railway by means of directly or indirectly determining prices, allocating tenders, coordinating bid prices and manipulating the bidding process.
The evidence in the matter included e-mails, call detail records and the statements of the representatives of the firms, the statement said.
The e-mails exchanged showed that the firms allegedly discussed quantity allocation with respect to the tenders of Indian Railways for the procurement of Axle Bearings amongst themselves.
"The vendors were also found to have discussed the compensation mechanism in the event that some of them did not win the agreed quantities," the statement said.
Of the eight entities, two were lesser penalty applicants before the CCI.
" Under Section 46 of the Act, a cartel member may approach the Commission by way of filing an application seeking lesser penalty, in return for providing full, true and vital disclosures in respect of the alleged cartel to the Commission. In this backdrop, CCI found eight firms guilty of bid rigging and cartelization in tender floated by Eastern Railway during the years 2015 to 2019," the statement.
However, CCI refrained from imposing any monetary penalty considering the firms were MSMEs with limited staff and turnover, the cooperative and non-adversarial approach adopted by firms in acknowledging their involvement as well as the economic stress wrought upon the MSME sector in the wake of COVID-19, the statement added.

China on Monday decided to impose anti-dumping tariffs of up to 54.3 percent on imports of pecans (Carya illinoensis) from Mexico and the US in the form of deposits after it ruled preliminarily that imports of pecans from the two countries were dumped in the Chinese market, China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) announced.
The investigating authority found a causal link between the alleged dumping of imports of pecans from Mexico and the US and the injury suffered by Chinese producers. The ministry said it will impose provisional anti-dumping measures in the form of security deposits beginning August 11, 2026, according to an announcement on the ministry's website on Monday.
The dumping margins for Mexican companies were determined to be 17.8 percent to 51.6 percent. Since no US company has responded to the investigation, and in accordance with Chinese law and WTO rules, the dumping margin for all US companies was determined on the basis of the best information available at 54.3 percent, according to a spokesperson of the MOFCOM.
China launched the anti-dumping investigation into pecan imports from Mexico and the US on September 25, 2025, under its Anti-Dumping Regulations, according to the ministry.
A number of Mexican companies responded to the investigation, but no US companies did so.
China has always exercised caution and restraint in using trade remedy measures, and remains firmly committed to safeguarding fair and free trade, the MOFCOM spokesperson said on Monday, briefing on the preliminary ruling. China will continue to conduct the investigation in accordance with the law, fully protect the rights of all interested parties, and make an objective and impartial final ruling based on the findings of the investigation, the spokesperson said.
Pecans, also known as American walnuts or thin-shelled walnuts, are used both as snacks and in baking, and can also be processed into edible oil.
The MOFCOM spokesperson said that the ministry has conducted the investigation in accordance with the principles of fairness, impartiality, openness, and transparency, and in strict compliance with relevant Chinese laws and regulations as well as WTO rules.
The ministry said interested parties may submit written comments within 10 days of the announcement.
