China announced Thursday it would take temporary anti-dumping
measures against imported nucleotide-type food additive from Japan
and Republic of Korea (ROK).
China's Ministry of
Commerce said in an announcement that it will collect cash
deposits from importers of nucleotide-type food additive as from
Thursday.
The food additives involved in the case include three types,
namely, Disodium 5'-Inosinate, Disodium 5'-Guanylate and Disodium
5'-Ribonucleotide. They can be used in producing soy sauce and
monosodium glutamate.
The ministry launched the anti-dumping investigation on November
12, 2004. After the investigation, the ministry decided those
imported products constitute dumping, with a scope ranging from 25
percent to 144 percent.
