The Department of Trade Remedies ( Ministry of Industry and Trade ) has just announced on September 26 that the US Department of Commerce (DOC) issued the final conclusion on the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigation into fiber-cast products imported from Vietnam and China after nearly 1 year of investigation.

The products proposed for investigation are molded fiber products, HS codes of the products: 4823.70.0020 and 4823.70.0040; some other codes: 4823.61.20, 4823.61.40, 4823.69.20, 4823.69.40.

According to data from the US International Trade Commission (ITC), Vietnam exported about 23 million USD worth of fiber-cast products in 2023. The anti-dumping investigation period is from April 1, 2024 to September 30, 2024. The subsidy investigation period is 2023.

The final anti-dumping duty rate for Vietnam (adjusted for the export-related subsidy margin of 3.2%) for the respondent company is 1.38%. For the two companies with separate rates, the anti-dumping duty rate is 1.38%. For the other companies, the nationwide anti-dumping duty rate calculated based on available adverse information is 212.27%.

Meanwhile, the anti-dumping tax rate for enterprises exporting from China ranges from 49.01-477.9% and is much higher than the anti-dumping tax rate for Vietnamese enterprises.

The final countervailing duty rates for Vietnam are as follows: For the mandatory respondent company, the countervailing duty rate is 5.06%. For the two non-cooperating companies, the countervailing duty rate is calculated based on the available adverse information and is 200.7%. For the remaining companies, the countervailing duty rate is 5.06% (this rate is based on the rate for the mandatory respondent company).

Meanwhile, the anti-subsidy tax rate for Chinese enterprises ranges from 7.56-319.92%.

According to the Trade Remedies Authority, the US International Trade Commission (ITC) will issue its final injury determination within 45 days from the date the DOC issues its final determination on dumping and subsidization, expected on November 8, 2025. Only when the ITC concludes that the US domestic industry has suffered significant injury due to dumped or subsidized solar panels imported from Vietnam, will the tax order be officially issued, expected on November 15, 2025.

Therefore, the Trade Defense Department recommends that relevant Vietnamese manufacturing and exporting enterprises continue to monitor the developments of the final conclusion of the ITC. Enterprises should proactively seek new markets, at the same time improve their competitiveness, and strictly comply with the regulations of the importing country in case the Tax Order is officially applied.
