Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade has announced the imposition of a provisional anti-circumvention duty of 27.83% on certain hot-rolled coil (HRC) imports from China, effective April 17.
Preliminary findings indicate evidence of circumvention of existing trade remedies, with rapidly increasing import volumes causing harm to domestic producers and undermining current measures.
The affected products have already been subject to antidumping duties ranging from 23.10% to 27.83% since July 2025, with the new measure reinforcing the maximum duty level.
The investigation was initiated following complaints from Hoa Phat Group and Formosa Ha Tinh Steel, who alleged evasion of duties on wide-width HRC imports.
Authorities will continue reviewing the case and conduct public consultations before issuing a final decision.
The move underscores Vietnam’s усили:
👉 Protect domestic steel industry
👉 Ensure effectiveness of trade defense measures
