Vietnam Extends Anti-Dumping Duties on Thai Sugar Products For Five More Years

By

Vietnam has extended anti-dumping and countervailing duties on selected sugar products from Thailand for another five years, the Ministry of Industry and Trade reported Wednesday.

The decision to extend duties until June 15, 2031, came after a final review that found continued risk of dumping and harm to domestic producers.

The ministry said its investigation, conducted under WTO rules and Vietnam's foreign trade law, showed earlier measures had helped restore domestic sugar production, improve farmer incomes, and stabilize supply chains, while sharply reducing imports from Thailand.

However, it warned that lifting the duties could lead to renewed dumping pressures as price gaps persist.
