Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade has expanded its anti-dumping investigation into prestressed steel bar products from China, following a petition by Hoa Phat Prestressed Steel and Viet Nhat Prestressed Steel. The investigation covers imports under HS codes 7227.20.00, 7228.20.11, 7228.20.19 and 7229.20.00, with foreign manufacturers and exporters required to submit questionnaire responses by October 2, 2026. The case adds to Vietnam’s growing use of trade-remedy measures to protect domestic steel producers from low-priced imports, while temporary anti-dumping duties could be imposed if the investigation finds continued material injury to the local industry.

[SMM Steel] India Billet Export Indications Rise; HRC Export Activity Remains Cautious

[India] India billet export indications increased to 465–470USD/tonne FOB India. In the HRC market, Indian exporters were seen raising prices more actively in parts of Asia while remaining cautious in other destinations. However, price levels in Vietnam remained unattractive, and some market participants said no Indian HRC was currently being offered. In Europe, an unconfirmed India-origin HRC deal was discussed at around 680USD/tonne CFR, while China-origin HRC at 645–650USD/tonne CIF Europe remained competitive. Chinese HRC prices continued to rise amid domestic-market support and higher coke costs, while CRC prices edged up slightly, with market sentiment remaining positive. An Indian HRC deal in the UAE also indicated GCC buying interest despite logistical pressure. Meanwhile, a Latin America-origin HMS 1&2 (80:20) deal was heard at around 370USD/tonne CFR India.
