The Trade Remedies Authority ( Ministry of Industry and Trade ) said that on October 1, 2025, this agency received information from the Vietnam Trade Office in Thailand about the Thai Department of Foreign Trade (DFT) issuing a report on key facts in the final review of the anti-dumping tax order on cold-rolled carbon steel products originating or imported from Vietnam, China, and Taiwan (China).
Steel products under investigation are classified according to HS codes: 7209.1500, 7209.1600, 7209.1700, 7209.1820, 7209.1890, 7209.2500, 7209.2600, 7209.2700, 7209.2810, 7209.2890, 7209.9010, 7209.9090, 7211.2310, 7211.2320, 7211.2330, 7211.2390, 7211.2910, 7211.2920, 7211.2930, 7211.2990, 7225.5000.
According to information from the DFT report, the termination of anti-dumping measures on cold-rolled carbon steel products is likely to lead to a recurrence of dumping and thus a recurrence of injury to the domestic industry.
Therefore, DFT proposed to extend this anti-dumping measure for another 5 years and maintain the tax rate of 4.22% to 20.11% of CIF price, applicable from January 25, 2025.
Notably, in this final review, the domestic manufacturing industry accused the existence of anti-dumping tax evasion.
Specifically, during the review period (2024), there was a phenomenon of circumventing measures by importing ZAM steel (zinc-aluminum-magnesium alloy coating) from China, with a volume increasing to 1 million tons.
Therefore, DFT recommends that if there is clear evidence of circumvention of measures through ZAM steel imports, businesses can submit a request for the agency to consider anti-dumping tax evasion measures.
The DFT allows parties to submit written comments on this final conclusion report no later than 16:30 Bangkok time, 6 October 2025.
The Trade Defense Department recommends that the Vietnam Steel Association notify relevant manufacturing and exporting enterprises of the final conclusion.
The agency also asked businesses to review cold-rolled carbon steel exports and monitor the risk of Thailand investigating anti-dumping tax evasion.
For manufacturing and exporting enterprises, review Zam steel export activities and develop contingency plans for the possibility that Thailand will investigate anti-dumping tax evasion on Zam steel.
