Editor's note
Importers and project buyers sourcing Indian ceramic and porcelain tiles for the Vietnamese market should monitor this investigation closely. A potential imposition of anti-dumping duties could increase landed costs and affect supply chain stability. Consider diversifying sources or verifying the compliance status of your Indian suppliers with the ongoing questionnaire process.

The period under investigation covers July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025.
Vietnam has officially launched anti-dumping investigation AD23 against ceramic and porcelain tiles originating from India. The case was announced through Decision No. 2333/QD-BCT on August 18, 2025, by the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT).
The investigation was initiated based on allegations from Vietnamese producers that imports from India were being dumped, threatening or causing material injury to the domestic industry. The period of investigation runs from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025.
The Trade Remedies Authority of Vietnam (TRAV) has issued a Sampling Questionnaire to foreign producers and exporters. The purpose is to allow TRAV to select representative companies for the full investigation. The questionnaire requires information on company structure, production, sales, costs, exports to Vietnam, and domestic sales.
It must be submitted via the TRAV system by September 10, 2025 (Hanoi time), followed by a signed hard copy and USB submission. Failure to meet this deadline will result in a company being treated as non-cooperative, which can lead to the use of adverse facts available and typically results in higher calculated dumping margins.
