Liquid sugar is one of the additives used to sweeten in food processing, widely used in the processing of fast food, bottled food, etc. On May 21st, 2020, the Trade Remedies Administration (Investigating Authority) received a request to apply anti-dumping measures on liquid sugar extracted from corn starch (HFCS) originating from China and Korea imported into Vietnam from the representative of the Domestic Sugar Industry (the Requesting Party).
The investigation results show that HFCS liquid sugar products imported from China and Korea are being dumped in the Vietnamese market and have significantly damaged the domestic industry. However, the causal relationship between the dumping behavior of the investigated goods imported from China and Korea and the damage to the domestic industry has not been clearly shown.
Therefore, according to the provisions of Point b, Clause 3, Article 71 of the Law on Foreign Trade Management, the investigating agency proposed the Minister of Industry and Trade to stop investigating the case and not apply dumping measures on goods imported goods under investigation.
On October 07th, 2021, the Minister of Industry and Trade issued a Notice attached to Decision No. 2274/QD-BTC on termination of the investigation and non-application of anti-dumping measures for liquid sugar extracted from corn starch originating from the People's Republic of China and the Republic of Korea.
