BEIJING/PARIS (Reuters) -- China imposed temporary antidumping measures on brandy imports from the European Union on Tuesday, hitting brands from Hennessy to Remy Martin, after the 27-state bloc voted for tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles.

An investigation has preliminarily determined that dumping of brandy from the EU is threatening China's own brandy sector with "substantial damage," the Chinese commerce ministry said.
