Anti-dumping duties have been increased on both fresh and dried garlic, from R10.37/kg to R19.25/kg. The increase has been implemented immediately. The increase followed a sunset review on garlic, that was initiated in March 2015. At that point, China accounted for around 50% of the imports of garlic, but this has since dropped to 45% of the volume. The increased duty is likely move much of the importing to Spain which is not impacted by the duty, and also does not attract normal Customs duties.
