try of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade (MDIC) has until September 20 to define the new anti-dumping duty for garlic imported from China.

According to Hees, the current antidumping tariff is US$ 0.52 per kilo of imported garlic. To set the anti-dumping duty, the Ministry is examining the prices of garlic. Part of the research includes the analysis of the mayor Chinese exporters' export prices.
