On August 8, 2024, the Trade Remedies Authority of Vietnam, under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, issued Notice No. 105/PVTM regarding the release of the investigation questionnaire for domestic producers and importers in the anti-dumping investigation on hot rolled steel from India and China.
On March 19, 2024, the Trade Remedies Authority of Vietnam received a request to initiate an anti-dumping investigation on hot rolled steel (HRC) originating from China and India from several Vietnamese steel manufacturers.
In early April 2024, the Anti-Dumping and Subsidy Investigation Division of the Trade Remedies Authority officially requested the steel enterprises that had petitioned for the investigation to provide additional information related to the case, to form a basis for the initiation decision.
On April 26, 2024, the petitioning parties submitted additional information and documents as requested by the investigating authority. By May 13, 2024, the Trade Remedies Authority issued a notice requesting the petitioning parties to provide further supplemental information for the investigation request.
On May 31, 2024, the petitioning parties submitted the additional and complete information and documents as required by the investigating authority.
On June 14, 2024, the Trade Remedies Authority of Vietnam issued a notice confirming that the request dossier for an anti-dumping investigation on hot rolled steel from India and China was complete and valid under the trade remedy laws.
On July 26, 2024, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam issued Decision No. 1985/QD-BCT to initiate an anti-dumping investigation on certain hot rolled steel products from India and China.
The deadline for submitting the questionnaire response is before 5:00 PM on September 16, 2024 (Hanoi time). Interested parties may submit their responses online via the Trade Remedies Authority’s electronic filing system.
In cases where the investigating authority does not receive timely responses from the concerned parties or if the information provided is incorrect or incomplete as required, the authority may use available data to issue investigation conclusions, which are often unfavorable to the businesses. Therefore, domestic producers and importers involved should respond to the questionnaire and fully cooperate throughout the investigation process.
To ensure their rights and interests, relevant exporting manufacturers should seek assistance from a reputable law firm specializing in anti-dumping and trade remedies to receive timely support during the investigation.
Additionally, for importers of the investigated goods, to safeguard their interests, they should not only respond to the questionnaire but also proactively share information with their exporting partners in the mentioned countries to respond to the questionnaire for foreign manufacturers/exporters.
