On June 12, 2026, the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) issued Decision No. 1400/QD-BCT imposing definitive anti-dumping duties on certain clear float glass products originating from Indonesia and Malaysia. The decision was made on the basis of the final findings of the Trade Remedies Authority of Vietnam (TRAV), marking the completion of the investigation concerning imports of clear float glass from the two countries.
According to Decision No. 1400/QD-BCT, the definitive anti-dumping duty rates imposed on imports from Indonesia range from 32.78% to 43.78%, while the rates applicable to products originating from Malaysia range from 41.07% to 63.39%. The specific duty rates were determined based on the investigation results for each producer and exporter, as well as the degree of dumping established during the investigation.
The investigation was conducted by the Ministry of Industry and Trade in accordance with the Law on Foreign Trade Management and its implementing regulations. During the course of the proceedings, the investigating authority coordinated with relevant agencies and collected and analyzed information from domestic producers, foreign manufacturers and exporters, and other interested parties in order to comprehensively assess the impact of the investigated imports on Vietnam’s clear float glass industry.
In its final determination, the investigating authority concluded that sufficient grounds existed for the imposition of anti-dumping measures on imports from Indonesia and Malaysia. First, dumping was found to exist with respect to the investigated products. Second, the domestic industry had suffered material injury, as evidenced by various economic indicators, including production output, sales revenue, profits, capacity utilization, market share, and overall operating performance. Third, the investigating authority established a clear causal relationship between the dumped imports and the material injury sustained by the domestic industry.
Based on these findings, the Ministry of Industry and Trade decided to impose definitive anti-dumping duties on certain clear float glass products originating from Indonesia and Malaysia in order to eliminate the adverse effects of unfair competition and create favorable conditions for the recovery and enhancement of the competitiveness of the domestic industry.
Clear float glass is one of the key materials widely used in the construction sector, household glass manufacturing, furniture production, and various other industries. Therefore, ensuring a fair competitive environment for this product is of considerable importance to the development of the building materials industry and domestic glass manufacturers.
Under Vietnam’s trade remedy laws, anti-dumping duties are imposed to prevent unfair competition arising from imported goods and to protect domestic industries from material injury. However, such measures are not permanent in nature. During their implementation, anti-dumping duty rates may be reviewed, adjusted, or terminated upon request by interested parties, provided that the legal requirements are satisfied.
Such reviews are conducted to ensure that anti-dumping measures are applied to the appropriate products, at the necessary level, and for a reasonable duration, in accordance with the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the international commitments to which Vietnam is a party. This mechanism also contributes to maintaining a balance between the objective of protecting domestic industries and ensuring adequate supply for the market.
Against the backdrop of the increasing use of trade remedy measures worldwide, the Ministry of Industry and Trade’s decision in the clear float glass case demonstrates that Vietnam continues to make effective use of legitimate instruments to protect the lawful interests of domestic industries against unfair competition. At the same time, the case serves as a reminder to foreign exporters of the importance of complying with international trade principles when participating in the Vietnamese market.
Domestic producers, importers, and other interested parties should continue to closely monitor developments in the case and proactively prepare the necessary data in the event of future review proceedings in order to best safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.
Detailed provisions regarding the scope of products subject to the measure and the corresponding anti-dumping duty rates applicable to each enterprise are set forth in Decision No. 1400/QD-BCT dated June 12, 2026 issued by the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
