Regulatory News:
Rémy Cointreau (Paris:RCO) has taken note of the announcement by
the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China (MOFCOM)
which evaluates, on a preliminary basis and with no immediate
effect, the dumping margin applied on imports into China by Rémy
Cointreau’s Cognac division at 38.1%. This could imply an
additional tariff in the same proportion on the future exports to
China.
This decision comes despite the Group’s full cooperation with
the Chinese authorities since the investigation began on January 5,
2024, and notwithstanding Rémy Cointreau’s demonstration throughout
the process of full compliance of its products and business
practices with both Chinese and international regulations as well
as the absence of dumping.
This decision is described as “preliminary” and is not
accompanied by “provisional measures”, which means that the final
tariffs to be announced at the end of the investigation may differ
from those just announced, or may not be applied.
At this stage, Rémy Cointreau is obliged to await MOFCOM’s final
decision to be able to assess any potential future impact.
Rémy Cointreau intends to continue cooperating fully with the
Chinese authorities until the investigation has been completed. At
the same time, the Group is continuing to assess all options and
growth opportunities that will enable it to mitigate any negative
fallout from MOFCOM’s final decision.
China is a long-standing trading partner for the LOUIS XIII and
Rémy Martin brands, which have enjoyed a strong presence and strong
desirability in the country for many decades. The Group will thus
continue to invest there to prepare for tomorrow’s growth.
