On April 22, 2022, Vietnam issued Decision No. 1282/QD-BCT on the results of the first review of the application of anti-dumping measures to a number of aluminum products originating from China, replacing Decision No. 2942/QD-BCT dated September 28, 2019, of the Minister of Industry and Trade on the application of official anti-dumping measures to a number of aluminum products originating from China.
According to Decision No. 1282/QD-BCT, Vietnam will apply anti-dumping measures against a number of aluminum, alloy or non-alloy products, in the form of rods and shapes, extruded, etc. or not surface-treated, whether or not further processed, imported into Vietnam.
