On October 12, 2026 the Trade Remedy Commission of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) made an affirmative preliminary determination in its injury investigation involving certain cold-rolled, flat-rolled stainless steel products from Vietnam.

The Trade Remedy Commission found that there is a reasonable indication that the domestic certain cold-rolled, flat-rolled stainless steel products industry is materially injured by reason of imports from Vietnam that are alleged to have been sold in Taiwan (ROC) at less than normal value.

Under the jurisdiction set forth in the Regulations Governing the Implementation of the Imposition of Countervailing and Antidumping Duties, the MOEA is in charge of investigation into whether a Taiwan (ROC) industry is injured by reason of subject nnimports. As a result of the MOEA's affirmative preliminary determination, the Ministry of Finance will continue to conduct a dumping investigation on imports of   certain cold-rolled, flat-rolled stainless steel products from Vietnam, and its preliminary determination will be made within 70 days (unless extended) after the day following receipt of notification of the aforementioned injury determination.

The public version in Chinese of the preliminary injury investigation report will be available after November 12, 2026 on the International Trade Administration's website https://www.trade.gov.tw/.
