On September 26, 2024 the Trade Remedy Commission of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) made an affirmative preliminary determination in its injury investigation involving the antidumping duty case concerning Portland Cement and its Clinker from Vietnam.

According to the affirmative preliminary determination, the Trade Remedy Commission found that there is a reasonable indication that an industry in Taiwan(ROC) is threatened with material injury by reason of imports of Portland Cement and its Clinker from Vietnam that are alleged to be sold in Taiwan(ROC) at less than normal value.

Under the jurisdiction set forth in the Regulations Governing the Implementation of the Imposition of Countervailing and Antidumping Duties, the MOEA shall make an investigation, conducted by the International Trade Administration, as to whether there is any injury to a Taiwan(ROC) industry.  As a result of the MOEA's affirmative preliminary determination, the Ministry of Finance will continue to conduct a dumping investigation of imports of Portland Cement and its Clinker from Vietnam, and its preliminary determination will be made within 70 days (if not extended) after the next day of receipt of a notice of the foregoing determination.

A public version of the injury investigation report in Chinese will be available after October 26, 2024 from the International Trade Administration's website (https://www.trade.gov.tw/).
