Regarding this issue, the General Department of Vietnam Customs said that on February 25, 2019, the Trade Remedies Authority (Ministry of Industry and Trade) sent Official Letter No. 136/PVTM-P1 to ECO Vietnam Joint Stock Company. Accordingly, in Section 3, it is stated that if the company's imported product is a steel product using thermomechanical treatment to create a surface coating, this product is not subject to the application of anti-dumping duty as prescribed in Decision No. 1105/QD-BCT dated March 30, 2017 of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

On that basis, on May 20, 2019, the General Department of Vietnam Customs issued Official Letter No. 3109/TCHQ-TXNK requesting ECO Vietnam Joint Stock Company follow the guidance of the Trade Remedies Authority in Official Dispatch No. 136/PVTM-P1 as mentioned above to explain, provide technical documents, manufacturer's documents to prove whether or not the item uses thermomechanical treatment technology to create a surface coating.

Compared with the production documents provided by ECO Vietnam Joint Stock Company, the manufacturing process of the item is carried out through the following steps: step 1 is cold rolling (mechanical treatment), step 2 is annealing (heat treatment) and step 3 is coating.

According to the General Department of Vietnam Customs, the coating process is done after mechanical and heat treatment, not during thermomechanical treatment. Thus, compared with Section 3 of Official Dispatch No. 136/PVTM-P1, the Customs authority has no basis to confirm that the above item is not subject to anti-dumping tax.
