BEIJING - China's Ministry of Commerce on Wednesday raised anti-dumping duties on imported photographic paper from two companies.

The move comes after a review showed evidence of dumping by the two closely connected firms, according to a statement on the ministry's website.

Effective on Wednesday, FUJIFILM Europe will be levied a duty of 23.5 percent, up from 17.5 percent set in 2012.
