The ministry has decided to take provisional anti-dumping measures against the products involved.


As of 4 August 2005, when shipping nucleotide food additives from Japan and Korea, securities equivalent to the dumping margins established for companies varying from 25% to 1441% have to be provided by importers to the Chinese customs.


The products under investigation are food additives used for improving taste in flavourings, such as monosodium glutamate and sauce.
