On the basis of information collected from related parties, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has carefully considered and assessed the level of dumping of H-shaped steel products imported from Malaysia, the damages to the domestic industry as well as to assess the socio-economic impacts, including impacts on downstream industries and consumers.

According to DecisionNo. 1975/QD-BCT, the anti-dumping tax rate for some H-shaped steel products originating from Malaysia, holding HS codes: 7216.33.11, 7216.33.19, 7216.33.90, 7228.70.10 and 7228.70.90 is 10.64%. This tax rate is lower than the tax rate applied to H-shaped steel imported from China (about 22% on average) and also much lower than the proposed tax rate of the domestic manufacturing industry (16.30%). This anti-dumping tax is effective from August 21st, 2021 and has an application term of 05 years, the term above could be changed or extended in accordance with the laws.
