Extension of the time limit for the first review of the application of anti-dumping measures on polyester long fiber products

During the review process, the Investigation Agency encountered a number of obstacles leading to the issuance of the conclusion of the first review on the application of anti-dumping measures on polyester long fiber products from India, Indonesia, Malaysia and China.

Accordingly, in order to have time to carefully consider and examine the case, the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued Decision No. 1511/QD-BCT on extending the time limit for the first review of the application of anti-dumping measures for some long fiber products made from polyester from India, Indonesia, Malaysia and China for an additional 3 months, until September 30, 2023 based on the provisions of Article 82 of the Law on Foreign Trade Management No. 05/2017/QH14.
