The Vietnam Competition Authority (VCA) under the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) on March 28 said KADI continued imposing anti-dumping (AD) tax rates of 12.3 – 27.8% on Vietnam steel for five years.
The rates were quite higher than those imposed on steel imported from the Republic of Korea and Taiwan, but much lower than Japan (18.6%-55.6%) and China (13.6%-43.4%).
The lawsuit was lodged by the plaintiff, PT Krakatau Steel in 2011. In March 2012 the Indonesian Ministry of Finance decided to levy AD duties of 5,9% - 55,6% on the products imported from the five countries.
In September 2015, Indonesia reviewed AD investigations and continued to impose duties with unchanged standpoint during the process.
