Trade Defense Measures on Goods from Vietnam in the EU Market (Focus on the Czech Republic)
Update Date: November 2025
Source: Vietnam Trade Office in the Czech Republic – compiled from the European Commission (DG Trade) and the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam
Recently, the European Union (EU)—including the Czech Republic as a member state—has initiated and applied a number of Trade Remedies Measures against imported goods originating from Vietnam. These measures include anti-dumping, anti-subsidy, and anti-circumvention duties, which are investigated and applied uniformly across the entire EU bloc by the European Commission (DG Trade).
Below are the main cases related to Vietnam that may directly affect import, distribution, and consumption activities in the Czech market:
1️⃣ Hot-rolled flat steel
Measure: Anti-dumping
Legal Basis: Regulation (EU) 2025/670 (provisional) and (EU) 2025/1919 (definitive)
Effective: 5 years, starting from September 26, 2025
Duty Rate for Vietnam: 12.1%
Impact in the Czech Republic: Steel importers such as Liberty Ostrava, Ferona, and ArcelorMittal Czech need to adjust contracts and properly declare origin.
2️⃣ PET Plastics (Polyethylene terephthalate)
Measure: Currently under anti-dumping investigation
Initiation Date: May 22, 2025
Status: Under investigation (provisional duties may be imposed within 8 months)
Impact in the Czech Republic: The beverage and packaging industries (Mattoni, Kofola, PepsiCo CZ, etc.) need to monitor the progress, as PET supply from Vietnam accounts for a significant share.
3️⃣ Stainless steel cold-rolled flat products (SSCR)
Measure: Countervailing duties extension due to circumvention via Vietnam
Legal Basis: Regulation (EU) 2024/1268 dated May 6, 2024
Status: Currently applied
Content: The EU determined that stainless steel goods exported from Indonesia might be processed or lightly worked in Vietnam before being imported into the EU to avoid duties, thus extending the measure to Vietnam.
Impact in the Czech Republic: Stainless steel importers and dealers need to clearly prove the origin of the raw materials.
4️⃣ Leather footwear
Measure: Anti-dumping (expired)
Period: 2006–2011; limit reapplied in 2016–2017 following a ruling by the EU Court of Justice.
Significance: This is an important precedent for Vietnamese businesses to clearly understand the requirements for transparency regarding costs, export prices, and cooperation procedures during EU investigations.
5️⃣ Bicycles
Measure: Anti-dumping (2005–2010)
Result: The EU lifted the duty in 2010.
Current Impact: No measure is currently in place; Vietnamese bicycles are exported favorably to the EU market, including the Czech Republic.
⚙️ Mechanism and Role of the Czech Republic
All EU trade defense cases are initiated, investigated, and decided upon by the European Commission (DG Trade).
The Czech Republic, through its Ministry of Industry and Trade (Ministerstvo průmyslu a obchodu – MPO), participates in discussions and voting within the EU's Trade Defense Instruments Committee (TDI Committee).
Businesses in the Czech Republic (especially importers, distributors, or industrial consumers) have the right to submit consultation opinions or register to participate in the case with DG Trade or MPO.
📊 Impact and Recommendations for Vietnamese Businesses
The Vietnam Trade Office in the Czech Republic recommends that businesses:
Regularly monitor ongoing investigations and new regulations on the portal: 👉 https://tron.trade.ec.europa.eu/tdi
Check before signing export contracts to the Czech market or other EU countries to avoid the risk of additional duties.
Prepare transparent documentation regarding costs, pricing structure, and certificates of origin (C/O form EUR.1 or REX).
Contact the Vietnam Trade Office in the Czech Republic for consultation and support regarding suspected investigations or trade defense alerts.
