On July 27, 2026, the Minister of Industry and Trade issued Decision No. 1903/QD-BCT and the accompanying Notice on the initiation of an anti-dumping investigation into certain prestressing steel bar products originating from the People’s Republic of China (Case No. AD24).
During the investigation, the Trade Remedies Authority of Vietnam issued investigation questionnaires for domestic producers and importers to collect information and data for the assessment and determination of the case.
Investigation Questionnaires Made Public
The investigation questionnaires have been published on the Trade Remedies Case Filing System and the websites of the investigating authority and the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
Enterprises can access the questionnaires through:
- Trade Remedies Case Filing System: online.trav.gov.vn;
- Trade Remedies Authority of Vietnam website: pvtm.gov.vn;
- Ministry of Industry and Trade website: moit.gov.vn.
Deadline for Submitting Questionnaire Responses
Relevant domestic producers and importers are required to submit their questionnaire responses before 5:00 p.m. on September 14, 2026 (Hanoi time).
Enterprises should pay close attention to this deadline and proactively prepare the necessary data and documents to ensure timely submission.
Method of Submitting Questionnaire Responses
Questionnaire responses must be submitted online through the Trade Remedies Case Filing System at: online.trav.gov.vn.
Detailed instructions on the response process, required documents, number of copies, submission format, and other relevant requirements are provided in Appendix 3 and the documents accompanying the investigation questionnaires.
Enterprises should carefully review all instructions before preparing and submitting their responses to minimize the risk of missing information or making procedural and formatting errors.
Enterprises Should Proactively Cooperate with the Investigating Authority
The investigating authority requests all relevant domestic producers and importers to participate in the questionnaire process and fully cooperate throughout the investigation.
The information provided by enterprises in their questionnaire responses will constitute one of the bases for the investigating authority to examine, assess, and reach conclusions in the case.
If the investigating authority does not receive a response by the prescribed deadline, or if the information provided is inaccurate, incomplete, or fails to meet the applicable requirements, the enterprise may be considered non-cooperative and may be subject to consequences under Article 9 of Decree No. 86/2025/ND-CP concerning the handling of non-cooperation by interested parties in trade remedy cases.
Notes for Importers
For enterprises importing the products under investigation, submitting the importer questionnaire alone may not be sufficient to fully protect their rights and interests in the case.
Importers should proactively notify and coordinate with their manufacturing and exporting partners in China so that these enterprises can submit the questionnaire responses applicable to foreign producers and exporters within the prescribed deadline.
Coordination between importers and producers/exporters may help ensure that information concerning transactions, sources of supply, import prices, and other relevant data is provided to the investigating authority in a complete and consistent manner.
Enterprises involved in Case No. AD24 should pay particular attention to the 5:00 p.m. deadline on September 14, 2026, while carefully reviewing the data and documentation requirements before submitting their questionnaire responses. Full, accurate, and timely cooperation will play an important role in protecting the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises throughout the anti-dumping investigation.
