The Ministry of Industry and Trade issued Decision 2230/QD-BCT to restructure the Trade Remedies Authority of Viet Nam (TRAV), expanding its mandate to include investigating harmful imports, providing early warnings for exporters, and managing a trade remedies information database. During the third Trade Remedies Forum, officials emphasized a shift from reactive measures to proactive risk management. Deputy Minister Nguyen Sinh Nhat Tan stated that these tools aim to ensure fair competition and protect domestic capacity rather than restrict competition. The government is focusing on enhancing early warning systems, improving data quality, and increasing the capacity of businesses to utilize these tools. Currently, Vietnam has initiated 62 trade remedy investigations and maintains 37 measures against imported goods. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-18: Vietnam promotes proactive trade remedies to protect domestic production Vietnam's Ministry of Industry and Trade is urging a shift toward proactive risk management in trade remedies to protect domestic production and ensure fair competition for exporters and importers. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/vietnam-promotes-proactive-trade-remedies-to-protect-domestic-production ### 2026-09-16: ASEAN-China trade cooperation expands at 23rd CAEXPO The 23rd CAEXPO and CABIS in Nanning focus on advancing the ASEAN-China Free Trade Area 3.0, emphasizing digital economy, green growth, and strengthening regional supply chains. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/vietnam-updates-trade-remedy-roles-and-expands-commercial-vehicle-exports --- Cite as: Vietnam trade remedy policy and administration.
