4. Effective date and period of validity of provisional anti-dumping duty
a) Effective date
The imposition of the provisional anti-dumping duty begins 07 (seven) days after the date of promulgation of the Decision on imposition of provisional anti-dumping duty.
b) Period of validity
The provisional anti-dumping duty shall be imposed for a period of 120 (one hundred and twenty) days from the date on which the Decision on imposition of provisional anti-dumping duty comes into force (unless it is extended according to Clause 1 Article 81 of the Law on foreign trade management No. 05/2017/QH14).
c) Retroactive application of anti-dumping duty

- The anti-dumping duty shall be imposed retroactively on imports during the period of 90 (ninety) days prior to the date of application of the provisional anti-dumping duty if such imports are determined to be dumped and the volume or quantity of dumped imports to Vietnam increases sharply during the period between the initiation of the investigation and the application of the provisional anti-dumping duty and thus causes damage to domestic production which would be difficult to repair.
- E.g. if the application of the provisional anti-dumping duty begins on June 15, 2020 and upon the end of the official investigation period, the Minister of Industry and Trade decides to impose the official anti-dumping duty, the anti-dumping duty may be applied retroactively for the period from March 17, 2020 to June 14, 2020.
