Earlier, a number of US steel enterprises petitioned the DOC to launch the investigations. Previously, in May 2015, after investigations into the same product from China, the US announced 199.43 percent antidumping duties and 241.43 percent countervailing duties on the Chinese products. The department will issue questionnaires to Vietnamese steel producers and exporters involved in the case to investigate the batches shipped to the US and the origins of their imported material for producing steel products. The DOC will issue its final decision within 300 days of the start of the investigations.
