The Ministry of Commerce (MOC) said Wednesday that it has started to review the anti-dumping investigation concerning electrolytic capacitor paper imported from Japan.

The renewed investigation will decide whether to extend the existing anti-dumping duties on electrolytic capacitor paper imported from Japan due to damage inflicted on China's domestic paper industry by the dumping.

The review decision came following China's electrolytic capacitor industry's request to continue to implement the five-year anti-dumping duties that expire Wednesday, the MOC said in a statement on its website.
