The Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) issued a decision to review the application of anti-dumping measures on some colour-coated steel products originating from China for the first time.

Previously, the ministry issued Decision No 3198/QD-BCT of the Minister of Industry and Trade on the imposition of anti-dumping duty on colour-coated steel products originating from China and the Republic of Korea on October 24 last year.

The ministry received the first review of the case on August 20 this year. On the basis of the content of the application for review received, it issued Decision No 3372/QD-BCT last week on the first review of the application of anti-dumping measures on colour-coated steel products originating from China.

Accordingly, the companies reviewed for anti-dumping tax rates in the case include Shandong Yehui Coated Steel Co., Ltd and Shandong Boxing Yin Xiang International Trade Co., Ltd; Yieh Phui Technomaterial Co., Ltd; and Zhejiang Huada New Material Co., Ltd.

To ensure the benefits of organisations and individuals, the Ministry of Industry and Trade recommended organisations and individuals register as a related party in the review case to access public information, send comments, information and evidence related to the reviewed content and co-operate with investigation agencies in the process of investigation and review.

In addition, organisations and individuals in the process of signing contracts for import, distribution, trading and use of goods subject to anti-dumping tax should pay attention to the fact that anti-dumping tax could be replaced following the results of the review.
