The Vietnam Competition
Authority (Ministry of Industry and Trade) has just received the dossier
requesting the application of anti-dumping measures on H-shaped steel product
imported from China to Vietnam.
According
to Vietnam Competition Authority, they have received full and valid dossier
under the provisions of the anti-dumping law for goods imported to Vietnam.
Within 45 days from the
date of receipt of full and valid documents, the investigation agency will
assess the dossier and submit to the Minister of Industry and Trade for
consideration and decide to or not to investigate.
In order to serve the
assessment, as well as ensuring the legitimate rights and interests of
enterprises, the investigation agency suggested that domestic enterprises which
are manufacturing/trading similar goods to provide the following information:
Information on enterprises; design capacity and productivity of the H-shaped
steel product in 2013, 2014, 2015 and the first 6 months of 2016; the company’s
comments on the case (agree, oppose, no opinion); any documents/evidence that
companies consider relevant to the case.
Since the law on trade
remedies is issued, Vietnam has 4 times issued the investigation decision on
anti-dumping against imported steel products to Vietnam. Accordingly, there is
one case of anti-dumping duty application to cold-rolled stainless steel
product and 3 self-defense cases for the steel billet and long steel products
(the Ministry of Industry and Trade has signed decision to impose safeguard
duty for plated steel and painted galvanized steel.
The
application of trade defense measures will certainly cause conflict of interest
between the 2 groups of enterprises. However, according to the Vietnam Steel
Association, the application is necessary to protect domestic production.
