Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade will place temporary anti-dumping duties on some colorless float glass products from Indonesia and Malaysia.

Ministry officials say that an investigation into dumped imported goods from Indonesia and Malaysia found that the illegal imports have caused significant and evident damage to Vietnam’s glass industry. They note that the volume of imports of the dumped goods has increased by more than 61.8% year-on-year, even after the investigation started.

As a result of the findings, the Ministry will apply provisional anti-dumping measures to prevent the rapid increase in imports of colorless float glass from Indonesia and Malaysia. Those measures include anti-dumping duty rates ranging from 15.2% to 63.4%.

reports that the tariffs are expected to begin on February 13 and will be in place for 120 days.
