On August 18, 2025, the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued Decision No. 2333/QD-BCT on the initiation of an anti-dumping investigation concerning certain ceramic and porcelain tile products originating from the Republic of India (Case Code: AD23).

The petition for investigation was filed by nine domestic producers representing the Vietnamese industry, including VITTO, Á Mỹ, Thắng Cường, Kỹ Thương Thiên Hoàng, Viglacera Tiên Sơn, TASA Group, Prime Tiền Phong, Gốm sứ CTH, and Hera. After review, the Trade Remedies Authority of Vietnam (TRAV) determined that the petition met all legal requirements for initiation.
