BEIJING, Aug 12 (Reuters) - China on Tuesday announced a preliminary anti-dumping duty on canola imports from Canada, a statement from the commerce ministry said.

The provisional rate would be set at 75.8% and be effective from Thursday, the statement said.

China, the world's largest canola importer, sources nearly all of its imports from Canada but those supplies are now likely to be priced out by the provisional duties.

Beijing announced the probe last September and it was initially set to conclude next month with a possible six-month extension, in response to Ottawa’s tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles.

The Canadian embassy in Beijing did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters.

Canadian exports totalled C$5.0 billion in 2023, the last full year before the investigation began.
