The review period will cover October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025, following a request submitted by Chinese producer Hebei Jinxi Iron and Steel, which currently faces a 13.38% AD duty. The ministry will assess whether dumping practices and injury to Vietnam’s steel industry remain present under current market conditions.

Existing duties on Chinese H-beams range from 13.38% to 33.51%, depending on the exporter.

The products under review fall under HS codes 7216.33.11, 7216.33.19, 7216.33.90, 7228.70.10, and 7228.70.90.

The outcome of the review will determine whether current antidumping measures remain, are adjusted, or are lifted.

[Fortescue Surpasses 200 Million MT Annual Iron Ore Shipments for the First Time]

Australian iron ore producer Fortescue Metals Group has shipped 200 million metric tons (mt) of iron ore in a single year for the first time, pushing its cumulative exports past 2.5 billion mt since its first cargo in May 2008. Currently, the company loads over 1,000 bulk carriers annually through its three ship loaders at Port Hedland. This milestone highlights the robust integration and efficiency of Fortescue's mining, rail, and port operations, ensuring a strong and consistent supply of Pilbara iron ore to the global market despite fluctuating macro demand.

[ArcelorMittal Urges EU to Extend CBAM and TRQs to Downstream Steel Products by 2027]

ArcelorMittal has called on the European Union to extend the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) starting in January 2026 and the revised Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) system starting in July 2026 to cover downstream steel products by 2027. The company warned that nearly two-thirds of non-grain oriented electrical steels (NGOES) used for new electric motors and generators in Europe are imported from outside the EU. Failing to protect this downstream value chain undermines the EU's climate policies and risks devastating Europe's strategic manufacturing autonomy amidst subsidized global overcapacity.

[EU Steelmakers Applaud New Quota Regime While UK Industry Warns of Export Challenges]

The EU has replaced its safeguard regime with a stricter Tariff-Rate Quota (TRQ) system, setting an annual tariff-free volume of 18.35 million metric tons (mt) across 26 categories, which EUROFER believes could restore up to 15 million mt of lost European steel production. However, UK producers warned of market access challenges, noting that over 70% of UK steel exports go to the EU. Although roughly two-thirds of UK exports will remain tariff-free for the next five years, the potential for 50% tariffs once quotas are exhausted highlights the growing friction and complex trade dynamics in post-Brexit supply chains.
