On December 24, 2024, the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) issued Decision No. 3485/QĐ-BCT on the review of anti-circumvention measures related to trade defense instruments applied to certain sugar products (Case code: AR02.AC02.AD13-AS01).
Background
Previously, on August 3, 2023, MOIT issued Decision No. 1989/QĐ-BCT concluding the first review of anti-dumping and countervailing duties imposed on sugar products originating from the Kingdom of Thailand.
Under Clause 1, Article 58 of Decree No. 10/2018/NĐ-CP (dated January 15, 2018), which details several provisions of the Law on Foreign Trade Management concerning trade defense measures, stakeholders may file a request for review within 60 days before the end of one year from the issuance date of the latest decision.
Accordingly, the Trade Remedies Authority of Vietnam (TRAV) received a review request from Wilmar Sugar Co., Ltd., seeking an examination of potential anti-circumvention practices related to the trade defense measures applied to certain sugar products.
After reviewing the submitted documents in compliance with legal procedures, MOIT issued Decision No. 3485/QĐ-BCT to officially initiate the review of the anti-circumvention measures applied to these sugar products.
