Anti-dumping Case for Steel Imported from China

The Vietnam Competition Authority (Ministry of Industry and Trade) has just received the dossier requesting the application of anti-dumping measures on H-shaped steel product imported from China to Vietnam.


According to Vietnam Competition Authority, they have received full and valid dossier under the provisions of the anti-dumping law for goods imported to Vietnam.
Within 45 days from the date of receipt of full and valid documents, the investigation agency will assess the dossier and submit to the Minister of Industry and Trade for consideration and decide to or not to investigate.
In order to serve the assessment, as well as ensuring the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises, the investigation agency suggested that domestic enterprises which are manufacturing/trading similar goods to provide the following information : Information on enterprises; design capacity and productivity of the H-shaped steel product in 2013, 2014, 2015 and the first 6 months of 2016; the company’s comments on the case (agree, oppose, no opinion); any documents/evidence that companies consider relevant to the case.
Since the law on trade remedies is issued, Vietnam has 4 times issued the investigation decision on anti-dumping against imported steel products to Vietnam. Accordingly, there is one case of anti-dumping duty application to cold-rolled stainless steel product and 3 self-defense cases for the steel billet and long steel products (the Ministry of Industry and Trade has signed decision to impose safeguard duty for plated steel and painted galvanized steel.
The application of trade defense measures will certainly cause conflict of interest between the 2 groups of enterprises. However, according to the Vietnam Steel Association, the application is necessary to protect domestic production.
