Ministry extends anti-dumping duties on polyester filament yarn from 4 countries

The Ministry of Industry and Trade has extended anti-dumping duties on polyester filament yarn imports from India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and China for an additional five years. This measure, issued on October 13, 2026, aims to safeguard domestic manufacturers from unfair competition in the textile and garment industry. The decision, Decision No. 2652/QD-BCT, maintains the application of these duties for goods imported into Vietnam from the four countries until October 15, 2031.

The anti-dumping duty rates vary among the countries: 54.9 percent for India, 21.94 percent for Indonesia, 21.45 percent for Malaysia, and between 3.57 percent and 17.45 percent for China, depending on the enterprise. The investigation found that if these measures were lifted, the imported goods could potentially resume or resume dumping activities, causing harm to the domestic manufacturing sector. Lower-priced imports could rapidly increase in volume, putting pressure on domestic selling prices.

Earlier this year, on October 13, 2021, the Ministry of Industry and Trade also implemented Decision No. 2302/QD-BCT, imposing anti-dumping duties on certain polyester filament yarn products from the same four markets. In October 2025, Decision No. 3013/QD-BCT was issued to conduct a sunset review of the measure.
