The South Korean Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy announced that the country's trade regulators have decided to impose anti-dumping duties on cold-rolled stainless steel products from two Vietnamese companies. The Korea Trade Commission (KTC) recommended that the Ministry of Finance levy an 18.81% duty on imports from Yongjin Metal Technology Co and an 11.37% duty on imports from TVL Joint Stock Co over the next five years.

This decision follows a lawsuit filed by South Korean steel giant POSCO Holdings a year ago. The KTC concluded that the dumping of Vietnamese steel products has caused "substantial" harm to the local steel industry.
