Recently, the Trade Remedies Authority of Vietnam issued an official notice regarding the acceptance of applications for exemption from anti-dumping measures (Case AD18), including documents specified in Article 14 and Appendix III of Circular No. 37/2019/TT-BCT.
On December 24, 2024, the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued Decision No. 3453/QĐ-BCT to impose official anti-dumping measures on certain wind tower products from China.
The wind tower products subject to anti-dumping duties can be classified under HS codes 7308.20.11 and 7308.20.19. If imported as part of a wind-powered electric generator set, they are classified under HS codes 8502.31.10 and 8502.31.20.
According to a report from the Trade Remedies Authority, a Vietnamese wind tower manufacturing company, part of a leading global production group, currently accounts for 15% of the global wind power capacity. This company is recognized as a top-tier producer with superior production capabilities and quality within the group’s network. Wind towers manufactured in Vietnam have been exported to major markets, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Australia, Japan, and South Korea.
However, the domestic manufacturing sector is facing significant challenges due to the dumping of imported wind towers from China. Investigation data shows sharp declines in production volume, revenue, market share, and profits in the domestic industry during the surveyed period. This not only hampers the development of the industry but also reduces employment opportunities for domestic workers.
To ensure competitiveness and stabilize market prices for the investigated products, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam issued Decision No. 3453/QĐ-BCT to impose anti-dumping measures on wind towers imported from China.
As per the regulations on accepting applications for exemption from trade remedy measures, the Trade Remedies Authority of Vietnam has issued a notice to allow eligible businesses to submit applications for exemption from official anti-dumping measures. These applications must include the documents specified in Article 14 and Appendix III of Circular No. 37/2019/TT-BCT.
To protect their legitimate interests, related manufacturers and exporters should familiarize themselves with the procedure and actively contact Vietnamese law firms specializing in anti-dumping and trade remedy for timely assistance.
