Thailand's Ministry of Commerce has reached a final decision to impose anti-dumping (AD) duties on cold-rolled stainless steel products imported from Vietnam for five years.

The ministry determined that the subject goods from Vietnam were being dumped, causing injury to the Thai steel industry. As a result, AD duties have been set at 9.95% of the CIF price for goods from Yongjin Metal Technology (Vietnam) Co., Ltd. and Tan Viet Metal Technology Co., Ltd. All other Vietnamese exporters face a higher duty of 29.40% of the CIF price.

The products involved are cold-rolled stainless steel products in coils, sheets, and strips with a thickness between 0.3 mm and 3.0 mm and a width not exceeding 1,320 mm. They are classified under HS codes 7219.32.00.020, 7219.32.00.030, 7219.32.00.040, 7219.32.00.080, 7219.32.00.090, 7219.33.00.020, 7219.33.00.030, 7219.33.00.040, 7219.33.00.080, 7219.33.00.090, 7219.34.00.020, 7219.34.00.030, 7219.34.00.040, 7219.34.00.080, 7219.34.00.090, 7219.35.00.020, 7219.35.00.030, 7219.35.00.040, 7219.35.00.080, 7219.35.00.090, 7219.90.00.000, 7220.20.10.020, 7220.20.10.030, 7220.20.10.040, 7220.20.10.080, 7220.20.10.090, 7220.20.90.020, 7220.20.90.030, 7220.20.90.040, 7220.20.90.080, 7220.20.90.090, 7220.90.10.000, and 7220.90.90.000.
