The Ministry of
Commerce announced Wednesday that it will launch investigations
into allegations of dumping leveled against the United States,
South Korea, Thailand and China's Taiwan Province. The allegations
all involve imports of unbleached kraft linerboard.
In accordance with China's anti-dumping regulation, the Ministry
of Commerce will investigate whether they have in fact dumped their
products in China and to what extent mainland industry has suffered
from the dumping.
An investigation of this type usually takes about one year, and
may be extended half a year under certain circumstances.
