The investigation will examine the period of dumping from April 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024, spanning 15 months. The injury investigation will cover multiple periods: from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021; from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022; from April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023; and the period of the ongoing investigation.

In the absence of a response by the deadline, the DGTR will proceed with the available information to make a determination on the case.
The Trade Remedies Authority has urged Vietnamese associations and businesses involved in the production and export of the investigated nylon filament yarn to carefully review the initiation notice.
