Pursuant to current regulations on foreign trade management and trade remedy measures, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam announces the extension of the review period for the application of anti-circumvention measures currently imposed on certain cane sugar products.
Previously, on December 24, 2024, the Ministry issued Decision No. 3485/QĐ-BCT to initiate a review of the application of anti-circumvention measures related to trade remedies imposed on cane sugar products under case code AR02.AC02.AD13-AS01.
This review aims to objectively and comprehensively assess the signs, methods, and extent of circumvention of trade remedy measures previously applied to cane sugar products originating from certain countries and territories.
To allow for more time to thoroughly analyze and evaluate the information, evidence, and viewpoints submitted by relevant parties—and to ensure that the final conclusion is based on complete, objective, and legally compliant grounds—on May 26, 2025, the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued Decision No. 1449/QĐ-BCT to extend the review period for the case by an additional three months. Accordingly, the investigation period is now extended until September 24, 2025.
This extension is implemented in accordance with Articles 82 and 90 of the Law on Foreign Trade Management No. 05/2017/QH14, which authorizes the investigating authority to adjust the investigation timeline when necessary to ensure a transparent, fair, and effective review process.
To protect their legitimate interests, 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.
