On February 18, 2025, the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued Decision No. 421/QD-BCT on conducting the second review of anti-dumping (AD) measures applied to certain polyester staple fiber products originating from India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and China (case code: AR02.AD10). This periodic review aims to reassess the necessity, scope, and impact of the AD measures on the market and related enterprises.
Extension of the review period by 3 months
To ensure a comprehensive, objective, and law-abiding investigation process, on August 18, 2025, the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued Decision No. 2324/QD-BCT to extend the review period by 3 months. Accordingly, the deadline for the conclusion of the investigation is postponed to November 18, 2025.
This extension is based on Articles 82 and 90 of the Law on Foreign Trade Management No. 05/2017/QH14, which allow the investigating authority additional time to collect, analyze, and evaluate evidence from relevant parties, thereby ensuring conclusions that align with market realities and international practices.
Significance of the review
Periodic reviews play a vital role in the implementation of trade remedy measures, aiming to:
• Ensure the reasonableness and transparency of AD duties, preventing measures from being maintained at levels higher or lower than necessary.
• Provide opportunities for exporters to demonstrate changes in production conditions, costs, or prices, which could result in lower duties.
• Protect the domestic industry from potential injury caused by dumped imports while maintaining a fair competitive environment.
Recommendations for enterprises
During this extended period, relevant parties – including producers, exporters, importers, and industry associations – should:
• Proactively provide information and supporting data on production, export, or import activities related to polyester staple fiber products.
• Closely monitor the investigation process and official announcements from the Ministry of Industry and Trade to respond appropriately.
• Prepare long-term strategies, including market and product diversification, and explore opportunities to leverage review mechanisms to mitigate risks.
This extension decision demonstrates that Vietnamese authorities are adopting a cautious and objective approach in handling trade remedy cases. It also serves as a reminder to both domestic and foreign enterprises of the importance of full and transparent cooperation during the investigation process to safeguard legitimate interests and contribute to maintaining a fair trading environment.
