The Trade Remedies Authority of Việt Nam under the Ministry of Industry and Trade recommended industry associations and manufacturers promptly identify themselves to the investigation agency and cooperate in the investigation in order to enjoy exclusive tariffs.
They should regularly exchange information with Pakistani importers as well as the Authority, to receive timely support.
The imposition of high anti-dumping duties would reduce Việt Nam’s competitiveness and make the country lose part or all of the Pakistani market, it warned. — VNS
