The United States issued final conclusions in the lawsuit against fiber-molded products imported from Vietnam.

The Department of Trade Remedies (Ministry of Industry and Trade) said that on September 26, 2025, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) issued the final conclusion on the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigation into fiber-cast products imported from Vietnam and China after nearly 1 year of investigation.

Specifically, the product proposed for investigation is molded fiber products, HS code of the product: 4823.70.0020 and 4823.70.0040; some other codes: 4823.61.20, 4823.61.40, 4823.69.20, 4823.69.40.

According to data from the US International Trade Commission (ITC), in 2023, Vietnam exported about 23 million USD in 2023. The anti-dumping investigation period is from April 1, 2024 to September 30, 2024. The subsidy investigation period is 2023.

The final anti-dumping duty rate for Vietnam (adjusted minus the export-related subsidy margin of 3.2%) for the respondent company is 1.38%. For the two companies enjoying separate tax rates, the anti-dumping duty rate is 1.38%. For other companies, the national anti-dumping duty rate calculated based on available adverse information is 212.27%. Meanwhile, the anti-dumping duty rate for enterprises exporting from China is from 49.01 - 477.9% and is much higher than the anti-dumping duty rate of Vietnamese enterprises.

The final anti-subsidy duty rates for Vietnam are as follows: For the mandatory defendant company, the anti-subsidy duty rate is 5.06%. For the two non-cooperating companies, the anti-subsidy duty rate is calculated based on available adverse information and is 200.7%. For the remaining companies, the anti-subsidy duty rate is 5.06% (this rate is based on the rate for the mandatory defendant company). Meanwhile, the anti-subsidy duty rates for Chinese enterprises range from 7.56 - 319.92%.

According to the Trade Remedies Authority, the US International Trade Commission (ITC) will issue its final injury determination within 45 days from the date the DOC issues its final determination on dumping and subsidization, expected on November 8, 2025. Only when the ITC concludes that the US domestic industry has suffered significant injury due to dumped or subsidized solar panels imported from Vietnam, will the official tax order be issued, expected on November 15, 2025.

Therefore, the Trade Defense Department recommends that relevant Vietnamese manufacturing and exporting enterprises continue to monitor the developments of the final conclusion of the ITC. Proactively seek new markets, while improving competitiveness and strictly complying with the regulations of the importing country in case the Tax Order is officially applied.
