On October 12, 2026, the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued Decision No. 2641/QD-BCT extending the deadline for the new exporter review in the anti-dumping case involving certain wood fiberboard products originating from Thailand and China. Under the decision, the review period has been extended by an additional three months, until January 17, 2027, to allow the investigating authority to comprehensively and objectively examine matters related to the case.
Developments in the New Exporter Review
Previously, on July 17, 2026, the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued Decision No. 1784/QD-BCT initiating a new exporter review in the anti-dumping case involving certain wood fiberboard products originating from the Kingdom of Thailand and the People’s Republic of China. The case is identified by code NR01.AD21.
A new exporter review is a procedure designed to examine exporters that were not assigned individual anti-dumping duty rates in the original investigation but are eligible to request a review under applicable regulations. The review may involve the collection, verification, and assessment of information concerning the companies’ production and export activities, as well as relevant supporting documents.
The outcome of the review may affect the anti-dumping duty rate applicable to the exporters under examination. Accordingly, the relevant information must be assessed comprehensively, accurately, and objectively to provide a sound basis for the decision of the competent authority.
Review Deadline Extended to January 17, 2027
Pursuant to Article 82 of the Law on Foreign Trade Management No. 05/2017/QH14, the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued Decision No. 2641/QD-BCT on October 12, 2026, extending the review period by an additional three months. Accordingly, the deadline for completing the review has been extended to January 17, 2027.
The extension is intended to allow the investigating authority additional time to examine matters related to the case before completing the review process. In trade remedies cases, verifying and assessing company data may require additional time to ensure that the information is complete and reliable.
It should be noted that extending the review period does not mean that the existing anti-dumping measures have been terminated or that the currently applicable duty rates will automatically change. This decision only adjusts the deadline for completing the new exporter review procedure. Any changes to the review outcome or applicable duty rates will depend on the official conclusions of the competent authority.
Recommendations for Affected Businesses
The extension of the review period means that interested parties should continue monitoring developments in the case and subsequent announcements from the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
For exporters from Thailand and China, preparing complete documentation, ensuring consistency in production and export data, and responding promptly to legitimate requests from the investigating authority are important factors throughout the review process.
For Vietnamese importers, the case may affect procurement planning, price negotiations, and import cost estimates. Businesses should review the status of the existing anti-dumping measures and monitor the review outcome to develop appropriate business strategies proactively.
Decision No. 2641/QD-BCT marks a new development in the new exporter review concerning wood fiberboard products from Thailand and China. Interested parties should monitor official announcements to stay informed of the latest developments and the final outcome of the case.
