Flour millers score Turkey over 102-percent tariff

The Philippine Association of Flour Millers Inc. (Pafmil) on Thursday stressed that the antidumping duty being sought against cheap Turkish flour is a “just and fair” effort by the local flour industry to level the playing field, in view of dumping allegations against Turkey.

Pafmil Executive Director Ricardo Pinca said that Turkey dumps its flour too in many member-countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean), noting that Indonesia has imposed a 20-percent safeguard duty on Turkish flour on top of a previously existing 5-percent duty.
