Vietnam's Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) is seeking greater customs clearance concerning the possible circumvention of the 21.18-36.33 percent preliminary antidumping (AD) measures imposed on imports of H-beam from China.
Many companies commented on the need for more customs clearance to distinguish H-beam and I-beam because these two products have many characteristics similar in appearance and are easy to confuse.
Therefore, in order to ensure the effective enforcement of preliminary anti-dumping measures, the Ministry of Industry and Trade wants to distinguish between H-beam and I-beam to avoid circumvention of preliminary antidumping measure on H-beam by using I-beam codes.
