The Ministry of Industry and Trade Applies Anti-dumping Measures to a Table and Chair Products from China
On February 13th, 2023, the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued Decision No. 235/QD-BCT on the application of official anti-dumping measures to a number of table and chair products from the People’s Republic of China (China) and terminated the investigation to apply anti-dumping measures on some furniture products from Malaysia. Accordingly, the official anti-dumping tax rate applied to the investigated goods originating from China is 21.4% for chair products and 35.2% for table products.
During the investigation of the case, in accordance with the provisions of the Law on Foreign Trade Management, the Ministry of Industry and Trade coordinated with relevant units to carefully review and evaluate the impact of the dumping of imported goods on the activities of the domestic industry, the level of dumping of the manufacturing and exporting enterprises of Malaysia and China.
The investigation results show that, although dumping behavior exists, because the rate of imported goods under investigation from Malaysia is insignificant (less than 3%), therefore, according to the provisions of the Law on Foreign Trade Management, the Ministry of Industry and Trade decided to terminate the investigation and not apply anti-dumping measures to some table and chair products from Malaysia.
For the investigated goods from China, the level of dumping was determined from 21.4% to 35.2%, and the import volume of the investigated goods increased both in absoluteness and comparative to the total domestic consumption and similar output of the domestic industry, which is the significant cause of significant damage to the domestic industry.
