Vietnam has officially terminated its anti-dumping (AD) duties on H-beam steel products originating in Malaysia. The Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) recently concluded a sunset review, determining that domestic producers did not request an extension for these trade remedies. Therefore, the legal grounds for collecting these taxes have expired.

The case began in August 2020 upon a request from Posco Yamato Vina Steel. The MOIT applied temporary AD duties of 10.2% in April 2021, later finalized at 10.64% in August 2021. In 2022, a review adjusted the rate to 22.09% to 33.51%, valid for five years.

With this decision of the sunset review, import channels for Malaysian H-beam steel products are expected to return to standard operations.
