[SMM Steel] Vietnam removes anti-dumping duties on Malaysian H-beam imports

[SMM Steel] Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) has terminated anti-dumping (AD) duties on H-beam steel from Malaysia following a sunset review, as domestic producers did not request an extension. The case, initiated in 2020, previously imposed duties of 10.64% (2021) and later adjusted to 22.09–33.51% (2022).
