Vietnam's Ministry of Industry and Trade has launched the first review of anti-dumping duties on hot-rolled coil (HRC) steel imports from China following a request by China's Baosteel Group, one year after the measures took effect. The review is conducted under Decree 86/2025, which allows annual reassessments during the first four years of implementation. Vietnam imposed official anti-dumping duties of 23.1% to 27.83% on certain Chinese HRC products in July 2025 after an investigation initiated at the request of Hoa Phat and Formosa, while ending a parallel probe into imports from India. The review could determine whether the existing tariff rates remain appropriate for Baosteel under current market conditions.

[India] HMS 80:20 ship-breaking melting scrap prices in Alang, Gujarat, remained stable at approximately USD 353/tonne ex-yard. Tight scrap availability and logistics constraints continued to support the market, while firmer finished-steel prices in Gujarat also helped stabilize sentiment. However, downstream steel demand remained subdued, and mills and recyclers largely restricted procurement to immediate requirements rather than rebuilding inventories. Prices are expected to remain rangebound in the near term.
