The Indian Finance Ministry has decided to not impose anti-dumping duty on several types of medium density fiber (MDF) boards having thickness below 6mm imported from Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, according to the Trade Remedies Authority of Vietnam (TRAV).

While local export products have been facing more anti-dumping investigations and tax evasion cases in foreign countries, Vietnamese enterprises are still unaware of the risk.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade’s Trade Remedies Authority of Vietnam sent a letter opposing several contents in the Indonesia's draft conclusions of an anti-dumping investigation on colour-coated steel sheet products imported from Vietnam and China.

With free trade agreements (FTAs) coming into force, countries around the world have also increased technical barriers to protect their domestic industries, exposing many Vietnamese businesses to the risk of losing markets if they lack preparations.
