Government initiates administrative review on anti-dumping duty on cold-rolled coils from Vietnam

KUALA LUMPUR, July 28 (Bernama) -- The government will initiate an administrative review in accordance with the Countervailing and Anti-Dumping Duties Act 1993 and the Countervailing and Anti-Dumping Duties Regulations 1994, with the final determination of the administrative review to be made within 180 days of the date of the initiation.

The International Trade and Industry Ministry (MITI) said the move comes after the government initiated an anti-dumping investigation upon receiving a petition from a domestic producer, Mycron Steel CRC Sdn Bhd, requesting for an administrative review of anti-dumping duties imposed on imports of cold-rolled coils of alloy and non-alloy steel (subject merchandise) originating or exported from Vietnam.

It said the government has evaluated and considered the prima facie evidence that the dumping margin of the subject merchandise from Vietnam had substantially changed, and decided to initiate an administrative review on anti-dumping duties imposed on imports of the subject merchandise from Vietnam.
