This development represents a significant reversal of the preliminary anti-dumping duties Chinaimposed on Canadian exporters in August 2025. This policy shift is of particular interest to those following the iShares MSCI Canada ETF , as it restores a primary export market that had been restricted for months. Each of the 10 secured cargoes consists of roughly 65,000 metric tons of product.
