Recently, Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade announced that from October 15, Vietnam will impose a 21.4% anti-dumping duty on chairs imported from China and a 35.2% anti-dumping duty on tables for a period of 4 months. Vietnamese authorities said that the quantity of table and chair products imported from China was significantly higher than the domestic production and sales volume in Vietnam, causing a serious impact on the Vietnamese furniture manufacturing industry. However, table and chair products made entirely of plastic materials and made entirely or at least in a major part of rattan, wicker, bamboo or similar materials are not covered by the provisional anti-dumping duties.
