# Canola Industry Statement on China’s Preliminary Ruling on Canadian Canola Seed Imports | Canola Council of Canada

> The Canola Council of Canada and Canadian Canola Growers Association said they were deeply disappointed with China's 75.8% preliminary duty on canola seed, effective August 14. They said the duty, combined with 100% tariffs on canola meal and oil, effectively closes the Chinese market. Exports to China were valued at $4.9 billion in 2024.
