On August 18, 2025, the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued Decision No. 2333/QD-BCT on the investigation of applying anti-dumping measures (CBPG) to a number of ceramic and porcelain products originating from India classified under the codes HS 6907.21.21; 6907.21.22; 6907.21.23; 6907.21.24; 6907.21.91; 6907.21.92; 6907.21.93; 6907.21.21.94 (incident code: AD23).
The investigation decision was issued based on the appraisal results according to the provisions of the law on trade defense for the Investigation Request for the application of CBPG measures submitted in full and valid on July 2, 2025 by enterprises representing the domestic manufacturing industry, including 9 companies: VITTO Group Joint Stock Company, A My Industrial Joint Stock Company, Thang Cuong Joint Stock Company, Thien Hoang Technology Joint Stock Company, Vigalcera Tien Son Joint Stock Company, TASA Group Joint Stock Company, Prime Tien Phong Joint Stock Company, CTH Ceramics Joint Stock Company and herA Industrial Joint Stock Company.
The domestic manufacturing industry has accused the pottery and ceramic ceramic products originating from India that have been being sold at a loss to the Vietnamese market, causing significant damage to the domestic manufacturing industry.
Pursuant to the provisions of Decree 86/2025/ND-CP dated April 11, 2025 of the Government detailing a number of articles of the Law on Foreign Trade Management on trade defense measures, after initiating the investigation, the Ministry of Industry and Trade will send a sample choice question to the following parties: manufacturers and exporters of goods being investigated for anti-dumping to Vietnam that the Investigation Agency knows; representatives in Vietnam of the country and the territory of the country and the province of goods being investigated for anti-inflation. Foreign manufacturers and exporters who do not answer the sample selection question within the prescribed time limit are considered uncooperative interested parties.
In case there are many foreign manufacturers or exporters in the same country or territory or have a large quantity of goods required to apply anti-dumping measures, the Ministry of Industry and Trade can limit the scope of investigation by selecting the investigation sample method.
After sending the sample selection question to the relevant parties, the Ministry of Industry and Trade will send the investigation question to the relevant parties to collect information to analyze and evaluate the allegations including: dumping behavior of exporting enterprises of the countries being investigated; damage to the domestic manufacturing industry; and the relationship between dumping behavior and damage to the domestic manufacturing industry.
If necessary, based on the preliminary investigation results, the Ministry of Industry and Trade may apply temporary anti-dumping measures to prevent the act of selling at a discount from continuing to cause significant damage to the domestic manufacturing industry.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade will conduct an inspection and re-verification of the information provided by the relevant parties before completing the official investigation conclusion on the case. At the same time, the Ministry of Industry and Trade will also organize public consultations for relevant parties to directly exchange, provide information, and express their views on the case before making a final conclusion on the case.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade recommends that all organizations and individuals who are importing, distributing, trading, or using investigated goods register as relevant parties and provide necessary information to the Ministry of Industry and Trade to ensure their rights and interests in accordance with the provisions of law.
