ASL LAW analysis of Vietnam's anti-dumping investigation on polyester staple fibers

Vietnam announces the receipt of an anti-dumping review application concerning polyester staple fibers from India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and China

On October 13, 2021, the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued Decision No. 2302/QD-BCT on the official imposition of anti-dumping (AD) measures on certain polyester staple fiber products originating from India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and China (case code AD10). This decision aimed to protect the domestic industry against the adverse impacts caused by the dumping of imported goods, which negatively affected the production and business activities of Vietnamese enterprises.

Trade Remedies Authority announces the receipt of review applications

Pursuant to Article 51 of Decree No. 86/2025/ND-CP, the Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) – the investigating authority – officially announced the receipt of applications for the review of anti-dumping measures applied to polyester staple fiber products imported from four countries: India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and China. This review plays an important role in reassessing the necessity, scope, and applicable AD duties, thereby adjusting the measures in line with market developments and legal requirements.

The announcement specifies that interested parties may submit review requests, which must include complete information and supporting documents as required by law. This legal mechanism provides exporters, importers, and domestic producers with an opportunity to present their views and evidence to protect their legitimate rights and interests.

Rights and obligations of interested parties

Under Article 56 of Decree No. 86/2025/ND-CP, interested parties in the case, including producers, exporters, importers, industry associations, and state management authorities, are entitled to submit applications for review. Review applications must comply with Clause 1, Article 57 of Decree No. 86/2025/ND-CP, including detailed information on the products, export and import data, market conditions, and grounds justifying the necessity of the review.

Participation in the review process not only allows enterprises to seek adjustments to applicable duties but also ensures transparency and fairness in the implementation of trade remedy measures. Particularly in the context of global trade volatility, proactive participation in this process helps businesses mitigate risks and develop long-term import-export strategies.

Deadline for submission and recommendations for businesses

The deadline for submitting review applications is September 17, 2025. After this date, the Trade Remedies Authority will examine, assess, and decide whether to conduct the review based on applicable legal provisions and the evidence provided by the interested parties.      

To protect their legitimate interests, manufacturers and exporters should familiarize themselves with the procedure and actively contact Vietnam Antidumping Law Firm specializing in anti-dumping and trade remedy for timely assistance.
