China will go on levying anti-dumping taxes on imported newsprint
from Canada, the ROK and the US pending a review of the policy,
according to the
Ministry
of Commerce's (MOC) 29th bulletin of 2003 issued Friday.
On
July 1, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce initiated a review of its
anti-dumping measures against imported newsprint produced in
Canada, the Republic of Korea and the United States. The
investigation is expected to be concluded before June 30, 2004.
According to the bulletin, during the investigation, China will
continue to levy anti-dumping taxes on the imported newsprint in
question.
The anti-dumping measures were set by the 4th bulletin of 1999
issued by the MOC's forerunner, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and
Economic Cooperation.
The measures were imposed for a five-year period, beginning in July
1998.
