China says it blocked Canadian firm’s canola when ‘hazardous pests’ found in import samples GlobeBusiness
China’s foreign ministry said on Wednesday that the country’s customs officials had frequently discovered “hazardous pests” in samples taken recently from Canadian canola imports.
“Recently China customs frequently detected hazardous pests in imports of Canadian canola, and in one company’s imports the problem was particularly serious,” Lu told reporters. He didn’t identify the company.The situation had led customs to temporarily suspend imports, Lu said. In 2016 China tried to impose tougher standards on levels of foreign material in canola imports, which was seen by some as an effort by China to reduce high domestic stocks.
