She said in 2011 three Indonesian commodities were subjected to anti-dumping import duties (BMAD) and three others to safeguarding duties (BMTP).
Ernawati said the commodities affected by the import surcharges (BMAD) were nylon filament yarn (charged with US$0.46 - US$1.11 per kg in India), fatty alcohol (43.63 - 80.34 euro per metric ton in the European Union) and footwear (US$1.65 - US$2.5 a pair in Turkey).
In the meantime the three other products which were charged with an MBPT surcharge (safeguarding duty) were glass blocks, woven clothes and garments.
"The imposition of the BMAD surcharge on filament nylon yarn and footwear was an extension of previous measures which were stopped for stopped for some time but applied again in 2011," Ernawti said.
