(Vietnam) On December 8, 2021, the Trade Remedies Department under the Ministry of Industry and Trade sent an official investigation questionnaire to foreign manufacturers and exporters in the case of anti-dumping investigation for a number of table and chair products originating from China and Malaysia (case code: AD16). The deadline to answer the survey questionnaire is before 5:00 p.m. on January 12, 2022 (Hanoi time). Earlier, the Investigating Agency has issued a notice to extend for the first time the deadline to submit the official investigation questionnaire in the case of the investigation into the application of anti-dumping measures for a number of table and chair products originating from China and Malaysia. However, considering that the above time is still not enough for relevant parties to respond promptly, fully, and accurately with the necessary information, the Investigating Agency has continued to extend the time limit for submitting responses to the official survey questionnaire for foreign manufacturing and exporting companies in the AD16 case to 5:00 p.m. on February 9, 2022.
In the AD16 case, the Vietnam Trade Remedies Department – Ministry of Industry and Trade (Investigating Agency) has issued an official investigation questionnaire for foreign manufacturing and exporting companies and stipulates the time limit for responding to the questionnaire is 5:00 p.m. on January 12, 2022.
To be able to ensure their rights and interests, foreign manufacturers/exporters involved in the case need to participate and cooperate most earnestly in the investigation process. The content of the responses of the interested parties will become the basis for the investigating agency to consider and select a sample to limit the scope of investigation in case of necessity.
In the event that the investigating agency does not receive a reply within the time limit for foreign manufacturers/exporters or if foreign manufacturers/exporters provide incorrect information and/or incomplete as required, the investigating agency will be able to use the available information to reach a conclusion according to the provisions of Article 75 of the Law on Foreign Trade Management.
The information and data provided by the manufacturer/exporter while answering the investigating agency’s questionnaire as well as the right to access information of the case of the concerned parties during the investigation process will be carried out in accordance with the law on information security in Article 11 of Decree No. 10/2018/ND-CP dated January 15, 2018, detailing a number of articles of the Law on Foreign Trade Management on trade remedies.
Continuing to extend the time limit for submitting the official investigation questionnaire in the case of investigating the application of anti-dumping measures to a number of table and chair products originating from the People’s Republic of China and Malaysia
Considering creating conditions for foreign manufacturing and exporting companies to cooperate in answering the questionnaire, based on Clause 2, Article 35 of Decree 10/2018/ND-CP dated January 15, 2018, of the Government detailing a number of articles of the Law on Foreign Trade Management on trade remedies, the investigating agency has announced the extension of the time to receive the answers to the survey questionnaire for foreign manufacturing and exporting companies in the AD16 case from 5:00 p.m. on January 12, 2022, to 5:00 p.m. on January 26, 2022 (Hanoi time).
However, considering that the above time is still not enough for the related parties to be able to fully prepare the necessary documents and information and send a response within the prescribed time, the investigating agency has recently continued to issue a notice extending the time to receive responses to the official survey questionnaire for foreign manufacturing and exporting companies in the AD16 case to 5:00 p.m. on February 9, 2022.
The response is considered to be submitted on time when the investigating agency receives all the paper and electronic copies before the deadline.
For other contents, it is recommended that companies follow the instructions in the official survey questionnaire issued on December 6, 2021, by the Trade Remedies Department.
