Ministry of Commerce: Launching two trade barrier investigations against the United States

In accordance with the Foreign Trade Law of the People’s Republic of China and the Ministry of Commerce’s Rules on Investigation of Trade Barriers, to maintain the order of foreign trade, the Ministry of Commerce may investigate trade barriers imposed by relevant countries and regions on its own.
Preliminary evidence and information obtained by the Ministry of Commerce indicate that the U.S. has implemented a large number of serious practices and measures in trade-related areas that disrupt global supply chains, including but not limited to: restricting or prohibiting Chinese products from entering the U.S. market, restricting or prohibiting the export of high-tech products to China, and restricting or prohibiting bilateral investment in key sectors. The aforementioned practices and measures may severely damage the trade interests of Chinese enterprises, and some of these measures are suspected of violating World Trade Organization rules and other economic and trade treaties or agreements jointly concluded or participated in by China and the U.S.
In accordance with Articles 41 and 42 of the Foreign Trade Law of the People’s Republic of China and Articles 12 and 35 of the Rules on Investigation of Trade Barriers, the Ministry of Commerce has decided to initiate a trade barrier investigation against the relevant U.S. practices and measures starting from March 27, 2026. The relevant matters are announced as follows:
The investigated measures in this case are: the practices and measures implemented by the U.S. in trade-related areas that disrupt global supply chains.
According to the Rules on Investigation of Trade Barriers, the Ministry of Commerce may use questionnaires, hearings, on-site investigations, and other methods to understand the situation from stakeholders and conduct the investigation.
This case should be concluded within 6 months from the date of the announcement of the case decision. In special circumstances, it may be extended, but the extension shall not exceed 3 months.
Stakeholders may download or search, read, copy, and photocopy the public information of this case on the Trade Remedy Investigation Bureau sub-site of the Ministry of Commerce’s website or visit the Public Information Reading Room of the Trade Remedy Investigation of the Ministry of Commerce.
Stakeholders’ comments on issues related to the case initiation should be submitted in writing to the Trade Remedy Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce within 20 days from the date of publication of this announcement.
Stakeholders submitting comments, questionnaires, etc., during the investigation process should submit electronic versions through the “Trade Remedy Investigation Information Platform,” and submit written versions simultaneously as required by the Ministry of Commerce. The content of the electronic and written versions should be the same, and the format should remain consistent.
If stakeholders believe that disclosure of the materials they provide will have serious adverse effects, they may apply to the Ministry of Commerce for confidential treatment of the information, providing reasons. If the Ministry of Commerce agrees to the request, the requesting stakeholder must also provide a non-confidential summary of the confidential information. The non-confidential summary should contain sufficient meaningful information to enable other stakeholders to have a reasonable understanding of the confidential information. If a non-confidential summary cannot be provided, reasons should be given. If stakeholders submit information without indicating the need for confidentiality, the Ministry of Commerce will consider the information to be public.

Ministry of Commerce Q&A
Ministry of Commerce Spokesperson Answers Questions on Initiating Two Trade Barrier Investigations Against the U.S.
Today, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answered questions from reporters regarding the initiation of two trade barrier investigations against the U.S.
Question: We noted that the Ministry of Commerce issued two announcements, launching two trade barrier investigations against the U.S. regarding relevant measures and practices. Can you provide more details?
Answer: The U.S. Trade Representative’s Office initiated a Section 301 investigation against China and 15 other economies on March 12, citing “overcapacity,” and on March 13, initiated another Section 301 investigation against China and 60 other economies for “failure to effectively ban the import of products made with forced labor.” China expresses strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition to this.
To firmly safeguard the interests of relevant Chinese industries, in accordance with the Foreign Trade Law of the People’s Republic of China and the Rules on Investigation of Trade Barriers, in response to the two Section 301 investigations initiated by the U.S. against China, the Ministry of Commerce released two announcements on March 27, respectively initiating trade barrier investigations against the U.S. practices and measures that disrupt global supply chains and those that hinder trade in green products.
Next, the Ministry of Commerce will advance the investigation of trade barriers against the U.S. in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Foreign Trade Law and the Rules on Investigation of Trade Barriers and will take corresponding measures based on the investigation situation to firmly defend its legitimate rights and interests.
