On January 7, 2025, the Trade Remedies Authority issued Official Letter No. 14/PVTM-P2 regarding the issuance of an investigation questionnaire for domestic manufacturers and importers in case ER01.AD08. The deadline for responding to the investigation questionnaire was initially set for February 15, 2025.
However, recognizing that this timeframe is insufficient for the parties concerned to prepare the necessary documents, and based on the requests of domestic manufacturers, the investigating authority has agreed to extend the deadline for responding to the questionnaire for domestic manufacturers and importers until March 15, 2025 (Hanoi time). After this deadline, the investigating authority may use available data in accordance with trade remedy regulations if no additional information is provided.
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.
Notice on the deadline extension is available here.
