enterprises importing color coated steel of China is from 3,45% to 34,27% and
of Korea is from 4,48% to 19,25% (specific rate is shown in attached Decision).
After nearly 8 months of initial investigation and
complying with regulations of World Organization Trade, Law on foreign trade
management and relevant regulations, Ministry of Industry and Trade has cooperated
with relevant units to consider and carefully evaluate the impacts of AD
activities of imported goods on operation in domestic manufacturing, dumping
level of manufacturing, exporting enterprises of China and Korea as well as
consider, calculate impacts on manufacturing and consumers of color coated
steel product.
The results show that safeguard measures in the form of tariff
quotas are being applied, but there are signs of dumping with a high margin
from the quantity of imported goods within the quota, from 3,45% to 34,27% and
this will continue to threaten and cause considerable damage to domestic color
coated steel manufacturing.

considerable pressure on performance indicator of domestic manufacturing, shown
in criteria such as: manufacturing quantity, sales volume, revenue, profit,
market share, inventory which fluctuate during the investigation period, especially
in the period of the last 7 months of 2018 until now, these indicators show the
clear downtrend: many domestic enterprises was at a loss, many production line must
stop working and large amount of labor had to quit their job.
When deciding to apply provisional AD measure, Ministry of
Industry and Trade considered relevant parties and relevant state authorities’
opinions as well as based on practice of many other member states of WTO.
Accordingly, goods imported within the quota of safeguard measures shall be
imposed provisional AD duty. Regarding goods imported outside the quota,
comparation between provisional AD duty and outside quotas safeguard duty needs
to be carried out and higher duty shall be imposed. This application is to
eliminate status of double imposition on importers.
Besides, special color coated steel product which domestic
manufacturing has not produced yet such as PCM product, VCM used to manufacture
refrigeration engineering and electronic appliances, PVDP products used for
thermal power plants, and other special products .... These are exempted from
application scope of provisional AD measure. Under regulation, imported
material to manufacture exported goods shall not be applied AD measure.
The rate of provisional AD duty fluctuateing from 3,45%
to 34,27% and imposing on imported goods from China and Korea were issued
in accordance with the regulations of World Organization Trade, Vietnamese laws
and reflected true dumping activities of foreign manufacturer, exporter.

close to market rules are determined low dumping margin. Meanwhile, the
low-quality floating dumping goods shall be prevented by higher provisional AD
duty.
