Argentina’s Ministry of Production has issued a decree to apply an anti-dumping duty of 31.15 per cent on ceramic tiles imported from Viet Nam.

This was announced by the Department of Trade Defence under Viet Nam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade.

The anti-dumping duty on imported ceramic tiles from China, India, Malaysia and Brazil are 27.7 per cent, 75.8 per cent, 32 per cent and 48.2 per cent, respectively.

Interested parties may submit their comments or request for consultations on the decision to the Department of Foreign Trade under Argentina’s Ministry of Production.

On August 18, 2016, Argentina began an anti-dumping investigation on ceramic tiles imported from Viet Nam, India, Malaysia, Brazil and China.

The anti-dumping investigation was carried out on products exported to Argentina in 2015 and 2016.

Ceramic tile is the fourth Vietnamese product investigated by Argentina, after spokes, motorbikes and air-conditioners. — VNS
