China's Ministry of Commerce (MOC) will impose provisional anti-dumping measures on unbleached bag paper imported from the United States, the European Union and Japan, the ministry said Thursday.
Importers of those products should place deposits with the Chinese customs at rates ranging from 14.9 percent to 29 percent of their imports starting from Friday, according to a preliminary ruling made by the MOC.
