Imposition of Anti-Dumping Duty on Imports of Hot-Rolled Flat Products of Steel from Vietnam

The Ministry of Finance (Department of Revenue) recently issued a notification (No. 32/2025-Customs (ADD)) on November 12, 2025, regarding the first schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 (51).

The government’s investigation looked into imports of hot-rolled flat products of alloy or non-alloy steel falling under heading 7208, 7211, 7225, or 7226 of the First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, exported from Vietnam. These products fall under certain tariff categories in the Customs Tariff Act, 1975.

After a detailed study, the designated authority released in the Gazette of India on August 13, 2025, saying it had reached the important conclusions that:

(i) The subject goods have been exported to India from the subject country at a price below the normal value, resulting in dumping.

(ii) the domestic industry has suffered injury as a result of dumped imports;

(iii) There is also a threat of further aggravated injury to the domestic industry if anti-dumping duty is not imposed on the import of subject goods from the subject country.

and has suggested the imposition of an anti-dumping duty on the imports of subject goods originating in or exported from the subject country and imported into India in order to remove injury to the domestic industry.
