Turkey said the temporary measure stems from a significant increase in the imports of these products in the period 2010 - 2016. The plaintiff is Korteks Mensucat ve Sanayi Anonim Şirketi.

Under the notice, POY products imported from Viet Nam will be taxed at a rate of 36.28 per cent.

Turkey is one of Viet Nam’s largest trade partners in West Asia.

Last year, bilateral trade between two countries reached US$1.5 billion: Viet Nam exported over $1.33 billion worth of goods and imported approximately $170 million worth of commodities.
