On July 4, 2025, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam issued Decision No. 1959/QD-BCT on the imposition of official anti-dumping duties on certain hot-rolled steel products originating from the People’s Republic of China and the termination of the anti-dumping investigation on similar products originating from the Republic of India. Under this Decision, the anti-dumping duty rates applied to the investigated products from China range from 23.10% to 27.83%.
During the investigation process, in accordance with the Law on Foreign Trade Management, the Ministry coordinated with relevant authorities to comprehensively assess the dumping behavior of imported products and their impact on the domestic industry. The investigating authority also analyzed the dumping margins of exporting producers from both China and India.
The final determination concluded that:
- Dumping practices existed for imported goods from both China and India;
- However, the volume of investigated imports from India during the period of investigation was insignificant (less than 3% of total imports);
- The domestic industry suffered material injury;
- And there is a clear causal link between dumped imports of hot-rolled steel from China and the injury suffered by the domestic industry.
Based on these findings, the Ministry of Industry and Trade decided to impose official anti-dumping duties on certain hot-rolled steel products from China and to terminate the investigation on products originating from India.
The anti-dumping duty rates applied to goods from China may be subject to review and adjustment in accordance with the law, upon request by interested parties, to ensure that the measures are appropriately targeted, proportional, and responsive to actual market conditions.
