Tuesday, 5 January 2010
BEIJING, Jan 04 (Commodity Online): China on Monday said it is to impose temporary anti-dumping measures on food additives imported from Thailand and Indonesia.
In a statement issued here China's Ministry of Commerce (MOC) said the preliminary ruling required importers of disodium 5'-inosinate, disodium 5'-guanylate and disodium 5'-ribonucleotide to place deposits starting Tuesday.
The statement said companies from the two countries had dumped the additives on the Chinese market and this had caused substantial damage to the domestic industry.
The statement also listed deposit rates for products imported from the two Indonesian companies of PT. Cheil Jedang Indonesia and PT. Kirin Miwon Foods at 16.9 per cent and 8.1 per cent respectively, and a 6.5-per cent rate for the Ajinomoto Co, (Thailand) Ltd.
For all the other food additives companies from the two countries, a temporary 29.7 per cent deposit rate would be implemented, the statement said, but it gave no details on when a final ruling would come.
The ministry had launched an anti-dumping investigation into imported additives from Indonesia and Thailand in March last year.
