On June 19, 2026, the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) issued Decision No. 1454/QD-BCT to initiate a sunset review of the anti-dumping measures currently imposed on certain H-shaped steel products originating from China (Case No. ER02.AD03).
The review is being conducted four years after the imposition of the anti-dumping measures, in accordance with the requirements of the World Trade Organization (WTO) agreements and Vietnam’s trade remedy laws. Through this review process, the investigating authority will assess the necessity of maintaining the existing measures, evaluate the appropriateness of any extension, and consider the relevant socio-economic impacts.
At the same time, the competent authority will determine whether the termination of the measures is likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping practices, causing material injury or posing a threat of material injury to the domestic industry.
In accordance with the procedures prescribed by law, following the issuance of the review decision, the investigating authority will distribute questionnaires to interested parties in order to collect information for analysis and assessment. The investigation will focus on three principal issues: (i) the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping by imported products if the anti-dumping measures are terminated; (ii) the likelihood that the domestic industry would continue to suffer material injury or face a threat of material injury if the measures cease to have effect; and (iii) the socio-economic impacts of maintaining the trade remedy measures.
Based on the information and evidence submitted by the parties, the Ministry of Industry and Trade will conduct examination and verification procedures to ensure the completeness and accuracy of the data before issuing its final determination in the case.
To safeguard their legitimate rights and interests, the Ministry of Industry and Trade recommends that organizations and individuals involved in the production, export, import, distribution, trading, or use of products subject to the review proactively register as interested parties and cooperate in providing information as requested by the investigating authority.
Registration as an interested party must be made using the form prescribed in Appendix I attached to Circular No. 26/2025/TT-BCT. Applications may be submitted through the Trade Remedies Online Application and Submission System (TRAV ONLINE) within 60 working days from the effective date of the review decision. In addition to online submission, interested parties may also submit their applications by post or email to the investigating authority.
Relevant documents, including Decision No. 1454/QD-BCT dated June 19, 2026, the Interested Party Registration Form, and the User Guide for the TRAV ONLINE system, have been made available for enterprises and relevant organizations to consult and complete the necessary procedures in accordance with applicable regulations.
