On April 20, the Trade Remedies Authority of Vietnam under the Ministry of Industry and Trade announced that the country will not extend anti-dumping measures on some of the H-shaped steel products originating from Malaysia.
Previously, the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued Decision No. 915/QD-BCT on April 16, 2026, concluding the final review and officially ending the anti-dumping duties on these products.
The measure was first imposed on August 18, 2021, under Decision No. 1975/QD-BCT, with an initial duty rate of 10.64 percent on imported Malaysian H-shaped steel. The tariffs were revised in later reviews, at times rising to between 22.09 percent and 33.51 percent.
A final review conducted in July 2025 showed that domestic producers did not submit requests to extend the measure. Based on this outcome, the ministry decided to terminate the anti-dumping duties effective April 16, 2026.
