According to information from the Vietnam Trade Office in Canada, on 03 December 2025, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) released its final determination in the anti-dumping investigation initiated on 22 April 2025 concerning imports of carbon steel wire rod and alloy steel wire rod from China, Taiwan (China), India, Italy, Malaysia, Portugal, Spain, Thailand, Türkiye, and Vietnam.
Based on its findings, CBSA concluded that dumping had occurred with respect to the investigated products from all relevant countries and territories. For Vietnam, CBSA determined a dumping margin of 5.7% for one major Vietnamese producer, a significant reduction from the 13.4% margin established in the preliminary determination.
Other Vietnamese exporters, however, were assigned a dumping margin of 158.9% due to the application of adverse facts available. Notably, the margin applied to the cooperating Vietnamese enterprise is currently the lowest among all cooperating companies from the various countries and territories involved, ranging from 9.4% to 58.1%.
CBSA emphasized that these dumping margins do not represent the final anti-dumping duties that will apply to future imports. The official duty rates will depend on the final injury determination issued by the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT).
Under the next procedural steps, CITT will continue its investigation to assess whether dumped imports of wire rod have caused, or threaten to cause, material injury to Canada’s domestic industry. The Tribunal is expected to issue its final decision no later than 02 January 2026. Pending this conclusion, Canada will maintain the provisional anti-dumping duties currently imposed on imports from the investigated countries and territories, including Vietnam.
If CITT concludes that injury exists, Canada will apply definitive anti-dumping duties to imports entering after the issuance of its final determination. Conversely, if CITT finds no material injury, the case will be terminated, no anti-dumping duties will be imposed, and all provisional duties or security deposits collected will be refunded in full.
In light of these developments, the competent authorities recommend that Vietnamese manufacturers and exporters involved closely monitor CITT’s final determination in early January 2026, continue to fully and consistently cooperate with Canadian investigators throughout the remaining stages of the process, and coordinate with Vietnam’s trade remedy authorities to obtain timely support where needed.
