On April 16, 2026, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam officially issued Decision No. 915/QD-BCT on the final review results concerning the application of anti-dumping measures on certain H-beam steel products originating from Malaysia (Case No. ER01.AD12). According to the Decision, the competent authority determined not to extend the anti-dumping measures for the products under investigation, meaning that such measures will expire upon the conclusion of the current period of application.
Previously, the final review process was initiated by the Ministry of Industry and Trade in July 2025 to comprehensively assess the necessity of maintaining the anti-dumping measures. The review was conducted in full compliance with the Law on Foreign Trade Management, its guiding regulations, and Vietnam’s international commitments, particularly the WTO Anti-Dumping Agreement. The purpose of the review was to ensure that trade remedy measures are maintained only when all legal conditions continue to be met.
During the investigation, the investigating authority noted that the domestic industry did not submit a request for a final review with the aim of extending the anti-dumping measures on imported H-beam steel from Malaysia. This is a critical factor, as under current regulations, an extension is only considered when there is a formal request from a legitimate representative of the domestic industry, accompanied by evidence demonstrating the likelihood of continued or recurring dumping and injury.
Based on the verification results and dossier assessment, and pursuant to Point (a), Clause 7, Article 62 of Decree No. 86/2025/ND-CP dated April 11, 2025, detailing several provisions of the Law on Foreign Trade Management regarding trade remedy measures, the Minister of Industry and Trade decided not to extend the application of anti-dumping measures on the relevant products. This decision reflects the principle that trade remedy measures are applied for a limited duration, in a transparent manner, and in line with actual market conditions.
The termination of anti-dumping measures in this case may have certain impacts on the domestic steel market, particularly in the context of competition with imported products. However, the decision also demonstrates Vietnam’s strict compliance with domestic legal regulations and international obligations, while ensuring a fair, transparent, and evidence-based trading environment.
