Vietnam's cement and clinker are subject to anti-dumping tax.

According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Trade Remedies Investigation Agency of Taiwan (China) has just published an official notice on the decision to impose anti-dumping tax on cement and clinker from Vietnam.

Previously, on August 8, 2024, the Taiwan Investigation Agency (China) initiated an investigation into this case at the request of the Taiwan Cement Manufacturers Association (China).

The goods under investigation are portland cement and clinker under HS codes 2523.29.90.00.2 and 2523.10.90.00.3. The investigation period is from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024.

On June 27, 2025, the Taiwan Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) announced the final results, the dumping of the above products from Vietnam is at risk of causing significant damage to the Taiwanese (China) cement manufacturing industry.

On July 22, 2025, the Taiwan Investigation Agency (China) published the Official Gazette on the final decision to impose anti-dumping tax on Vietnamese enterprises producing and exporting investigated goods.

The anti-dumping tax rate/margin ranges from 13.59% to 23.20% and is effective for 5 years from July 28, 2025 to July 27, 2030.

In order to ensure the interests of Vietnamese enterprises, the Trade Defense Department ( Ministry of Industry and Trade ) recommends that associations and enterprises consider the option of requesting the Taiwan (China) trade defense investigation agency to conduct annual/periodic reviews or review new exporters to achieve lower tax rates in the coming time.

Consider filing a lawsuit against the tax imposition decision with the Taipei City Administrative Court, Taiwan (China) in case the decision is inconsistent with Taiwan and WTO regulations.

The Trade Defense Department also recommends that businesses diversify their products and export markets, and contact and discuss with the Trade Defense Department in case they need advice and technical support.
