Chinese steel imports may qualify for anti-dumping duty exemptions
VOV.VN - Vietnam's Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) is currently accepting applications for exemptions from anti-dumping measures applied to certain hot-rolled coil steel (HRC) products imported from China.
Accordingly, the Trade Remedies Authority under the MoIT is seeking comments on requests for exemption from anti-dumping duties imposed on (HRC) products under Decision No. 1959/QĐ-BCT dated July 4, 2025, which officially applies anti-dumping duties on certain hot-rolled steel imports from China.
To assess exemption eligibility, the ministry has requested enterprises to provide detailed information on their production capacity, supply capability for 2025–2026, and actual production volumes of similar domestically produced products. Companies capable of local production are also required to submit sales reports, contracts, and invoices for the first ten months of 2025 for verification.
In July 2024, the MoIT initiated an anti-dumping investigation into HRC products originating from India and China, covering the period from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024. The petition was filed by two domestic producers — Hoa Phat Dung Quat Steel Company and Formosa Ha Tinh Steel Corporation.
After the investigation, in July 2025, the Ministry decided to impose anti-dumping duties on certain HRC products imported from China and to terminate the investigation for similar products from India.
The anti-dumping duty rates applied to certain Chinese HRC products range from 23.1% to 27.83%, effective from July 6, 2025, for a period of five years, unless extended, modified, or revoked in accordance with regulations.
The affected products include hot-rolled, flat-rolled steel or alloy steel with a thickness ranging from 1.2 to 25.4 mm and a width not exceeding 1,880 mm. These products are unworked on the surface (not pickled, plated, coated, or oiled) and have a carbon content of no more than 0.3%.
Certain products such as stainless steel or hot-rolled steel in plate form are excluded from the duty measures.
