On July 23, 2024, the Trade Remedies Authority of Vietnam under the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued Decision No. 1947/QĐ-BCT to initiate an end-of-term review of the anti-dumping measures currently in force against certain monosodium glutamate (MSG) products originating from Indonesia and China.
This is a periodic review conducted in accordance with legal regulations to assess whether it is necessary to maintain, amend, or terminate the existing anti-dumping measures, under the case code ER01.AD09.
During the review process, to ensure that the assessment of information, data, arguments, and evidence submitted by the relevant parties is carried out in a thorough, objective, and comprehensive manner, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, pursuant to Point d, Clause 2, Article 82 of the Law on Foreign Trade Management No. 05/2017/QH14, has decided to extend the period of the end-of-term review.
Specifically, on April 18, 2025, the Ministry issued Decision No. 1067/QĐ-BCT, extending the end-of-term review period for case ER01.AD09 by an additional three months from the original deadline. Accordingly, the new conclusion date for the end-of-term review will be July 23, 2025.
This extension is not only consistent with the current legal framework but also intended to provide the investigating authority with additional time to collect, analyze, and comprehensively assess factors related to the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping practices, as well as the extent of injury or threat of injury to the domestic industry should the current anti-dumping measures be lifted.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade continues to encourage full, timely, and honest cooperation from all relevant parties—including foreign producers and exporters, domestic importers, and industry associations—to ensure that the end-of-term review results accurately reflect the actual situation and comply with Vietnam’s international commitments in the field of trade remedies.
