Vietnam Extends the Investigation Period in the Anti-Dumping Case Against Coated Steel Products from China and South Korea

On June 14, 2024, the Vietnam Ministry of Industry and Trade issued Decision No. 1535/QĐ-BCT to initiate an investigation into the application of anti-dumping measures against certain imported coated steel products originating from China and South Korea.

The case was initiated based on a petition filed by the domestic industry, aiming to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Vietnamese enterprises against the adverse impact caused by low-priced imported goods, which may result in significant damage to the domestic production sector.

1. Basic Information on Case AD19

  • Case name: Anti-dumping investigation into certain coated steel products originating from China and South Korea
  • Case code: AD19
  • Investigating authority: Trade Remedies Authority of Vietnam, Ministry of Industry and Trade
  • Product under investigation: Certain types of coated steel products, commonly used in the construction, industrial, and civil sectors
  • Initiation decision: Decision No. 1535/QĐ-BCT dated June 14, 2024, issued by the Minister of Industry and Trade

Since the initiation of the investigation, the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Trade Remedies Authority of Vietnam have taken steps in accordance with the procedures prescribed under the Law on Foreign Trade Management (2017) and its guiding documents. Investigative activities include distributing questionnaires to relevant parties, collecting information and data, and analyzing injury, causality, and factors related to dumping behavior.

2. Extension of the Investigation Period

After nearly a year of investigative activities, in order to ensure a comprehensive, objective, and well-grounded assessment—and to allow for a more thorough evaluation of the information submitted by the parties involved—on June 2, 2025, the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued Decision No. 1543/QĐ-BCT to extend the investigation period of Case AD19 by an additional two months beyond the initial deadline.

This extension was made pursuant to Point a, Clause 3, Article 70 of the Law on Foreign Trade Management No. 05/2017/QH14, which allows the investigating authority to extend the investigation period if additional time is necessary to ensure a full and accurate evaluation and conclusion.

According to Decision No. 1543/QĐ-BCT, the new deadline for completing the investigation is set for August 14, 2025.

The extension is deemed necessary under current circumstances, enabling the Ministry of Industry and Trade to further clarify legal and technical aspects of the case, including the dumping margin, the impact of imported goods on the domestic industry, and the assessment of actual or potential injury.

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.
